Hey, somehow my reply didn't worked a few days ago; I'll rewrite it then.

I've been using vim-mode which I find quite nice. Of course, nothing is perfect but this is far from being clunky. I like the philosophy behind it of taking the good part of vim but letting the good things of emacs. Also, everything from that mode is customezable. For instance, you can bind new stuff in virtual mode, normal mode, insert mode.. so you really get back in the vim philosophy.

Seriously, without that plugin, I wouldn't have made it to emacs. For some reasons, I was writing "j" and "k"s everywhere and was highly unproductive without it. Now, I really like the feel of it. I've got my vim keybinding but I still feel like using emacs with its philosophy.
