I used Emacs for many years, and I'm pretty damn good at it. However, after I finally broke down and tried vim for a few months, I really think that modal keybindings are much cleaner and faster than Emacs-style ones. Anyway, my current solution is to use vim for quick edits, and Emacs + viper + vimpulse.el for good vim keybindings in Emacs. This works really well, and I think this is basically the ideal setup.
