I'm curious what things from Evil aren't "enough like vim" for you. I switched over after nearly a decade of loving vim and I feel like it's a better vim than vim itself, shockingly, in the sense that, for example, it's very easy to define new operators, motions, text objects, etc., and that the more popular/essential vim plugins had Evil implementations that worked better than the vim originals. Very rarely did I encounter discrepancies, and when I did, I reported it and it was resolved right away. Evil is an amazing project.
