Marcelo,

I've been using evil (with org but also more generally) for a few month= s
now. =A0It provides a very good vi emulation and, more importantly,
strives to stay out of the way when necessary. =A0From the commentary in the evil.el file:

,----
| ;; Evil is an extensible vi layer for Emacs. It emulates the main
| ;; features of Vim, and provides facilities for writing custom
| ;; extensions.
| ;;
| ;; Evil lives in a Git repository. To obtain Evil, do
| ;;
| ;; =A0 =A0 =A0git clone git://gitorious.org/evil/evil.git
| ;;
| ;; Evil is discussed at <implementations-list at lists.ourproject.org>,
| ;; a mailing list you can subscribe to at:

| ;;
| ;; Subscription is not required; we usually reply within a few days
| ;; and CC our replies back to you.

If you want modal editing and less cumbersome keystrokes for common
commands, without losing the power that Emacs provides, evil is
definitely worth considering. =A0I could not go back to vanilla emacs...
