For me the "feels wrong" is that vim is always just a little bit snappier than emacs. If you gave me a borderless window with no branding and only let me type vi commands I bet I could tell vim from emacs 9/10 times.
I used emacs exclusively for > 20 years and just recently began to transition to vim to save my tendons. It's amazing that so many of the verb-noun command constructs are still wired in to my brain stem.
