This depends on who you ask. Many people want to have the vim-emulation to be as close to vim as possible, because they use both, vim and Emacs, and otherwise the commands your fingers are used to in vim do not work in Emacs. It is one goal of the evil project to get all visual regions compatible to Emacs. This happens by modifying the visual region to have Emacs semantics (in the case of linewise the cursor is moved to the next line) right before executing a command. In theory, this should allow all standard commands that work on the region to behave as expected. But to be honest, there may always be some bad cases, although we hope to cover 99% of them. All mouse-clicking events should just (in evil) enable the corresponding visual-modes (as this is case with vim and vim-mode as well). So this should again be compatible with Emacs. Frank
