I like the emacs key bindings too, but many times I find myself reading the code with one hand used as a stand for my head. Vim's ease of movement across text is what I wish at such times. Of course evil mode come to rescue then, but I understand how so many people come to appreciate Vim's style so much over time. I am finding myself on the same path.

Me too! It's also nice that in OS X the basic set of Emacs bindings are built-in (movement and some manipulation, anyway).
