Yes, I agree with Tom. I tried viper and vimpulse, but evil is the first emacs / vim plugin that feels natural. Thanks for writing it.
Could you elaborate on this? Why does it feel natural in contrast to viper/vimpulse?
I'm still collecting reasons to switch to evil, so information like this is quite useful.

Michael, I can't give you specific reasons but my overall impression is similar to Timothy's above. evil is the first vi(m) emulator that doesn't cause more problems than it solves! The problem is I cannot remember why I gave up on the earlier vi emulators despite trying hard to get used to them. It's been a while! In any case, I only turn on evil mode in text editing buffers, mostly org mode but also message composition buffers and for coding. And I have C-z bound to evil-local-mode in all other modes for easy access. HTH, eric -- Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D)
