Well, I'd suggest if you know nothing about Emacs to install Emacs Prelude: https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude

Next, enable the lisp/scheme modules in prelude-modules.el [1]. You need the Evil plugin to get Vim modal editing and probably Evil Leader (so you get Vim style <leader> commands).

You can look at my config [2], there's nothing really funny except I map Ctrl-H to backspace and Ctrl-[ to ESC as that's what I also use in my Vim. There's also a slight modification to make Smartparens make parenthesis highlighting behave like in Vim.

One other thing is if you're in insert mode then Emacs keystrokes should also work (Ctrl-Z to force switching between Vim/Emacs keystrokes).

If you install the SICP plugin for Emacs (it's in my custom.el) and you type M-x info-display-manual sicp, or if you have Evil installed you can use use Vim's command :info-display-manual sicp, you'll get the SICP book as a manual inside Emacs.

Wow, thank you very much for your suggestions and the .els! I guess now I'm really out of excuses not to start with SICP.
