I really like Vim as a concept, but the implementation is somewhat laking and not so easy to extend.

At the moment I'm using Emacs with EVIL (Vim layer) and loving it. You should check it out :)

I did and I could not cope with it. My brain can either do Emacs or Vim, but not both. Whenever I used Evil, I would fall back entirely into Vim mode and more or less ignore all the Emacs goodies and miss my favorite Vim plugins. Mixing Emacs and Vim did not go well with me. However, maybe I should try it again now that I am comfortable with Emacs.
