So it's "evil" versus "vimu", I guess. I don't have a clear favorite,
so I'll try to list some pluses and minuses with both ...

evil:

    + clever ("extensible vi layer")
    + fits in with the "vi vi vi is the devil's editor" mythology
    - may be difficult to search for
    - "X is evil" often means "X is broken" in the software world

vimu:

    + searchable
    + multiple interpretations ("vi/Vim emulation")
    - maybe too Vim-like to suggest originality
