I've recently migrated to Emacs from Vim -- mostly for org-mode, and I don't think I could survive without Viper mode. :) Someone mentioned viper earlier in this thread, and having trouble with it with org-mode. Actually, I find it works fine. There are a couple gotchas, like avoiding "dd" for folded items (as mentioned). Use C-w or M-w to cut/copy a folded item. And you'll probably want to configure your .viper file a bit. But for me, at least, having spent years in Vim, Viper mode is well worth it. Besides, you can always C-z into Emacs mode if you need to. I don't need to for org-mode, but occasionally do for other other Emacs things--ledger-mode reconciling, for instance.
