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.
