I've found evil is not compatible with the auto-complete mode. Not sure how many people would be using this but it gets annoying as it somehow causes ESC or C-[ to not switch evil to normal mode. I have disabled auto-complete mode for now but may be someone has better idea to make them work together?
I don't know how Evil handles Esc, but I had this problem, too. From what I recall, it looked like auto-complete hijacked the Esc key for no apparent reason in that context, so it should probably be solved at the auto-complete side. In any case, I solved/worked around it by adding an `ac-stop' binding for Esc to `ac-completing-map', so now the first Esc stops the completion, and another Esc exits Insert mode, which is just fine for my purpose. I.e., something like (define-key ac-completing-map [escape] 'ac-stop) might fix it for you. -- Štěpán
