Difference between Viper, Vimpulse and Evil for Emacs?

Why don't more people use emacs with viper-mode?

I've started to use emacs, and I've found out that while the editor-specific features of emacs are better than those of vi, the text-manipulation methods of vi are better than those of emacs (and easier on your control-pinky!). It seems that…

Viper mode in all modes

I'm moving from vi to emacs and, using viper and vimpulse, it gets pretty annoying when I C-w C-w to a window and cannot get back to the original one with the same command because the other buffer, which could be a help buffer, is not in the Viper…

This seems very simple, but I wonder how to turn off viper-mode once I turn it on with M-x viper-mode. I tried (setq viper-mode nil) but this did not do it.

Disable ESC as meta in Emacs viper mode?

I'm a long-time vim user trying to make the switch to emacs. I'm using viper-mode in emacs and I keep typing ESC (to get out of insert mode) and then a key (say, j). I type fast and often hit them at the same time. Emacs then thinks I'm hitting…

Vim macros don't work when using viper + vimpulse in Emacs

Any other tweaks for making emacs as vim-like as possible would be appreciated as well. Addendum: The main reason I don't just use vim is that I love how emacs lets you open a file in two different frames [ADDED: sorry, this was confusing: I mean…

Insert spaces instead of TAB in Emacs viper-mode

I am long time-vim user and recently discovered that emacs has viper-mode, offering best of both worlds (at least for me). However one thing is really bothering me since I am mostly coding in python and mixing of tabs and spaces is a big deal. When…

How can I make emacs stop loading viper-mode?

I'm developing a mode for Emacs, and everytime I switch to its buffer, viper gets turned on. I've modified viper-mode to trace where viper-mode is being called, and surprisingly set-viper-state-in-major-mode is called by running the…
