I too tried evil, recently. Found it buggy. Definitely better
compared to Viper/Vimpulse, but still buggy. simple eg.
like copying to registers doesn't work. "n2yy. Still needs
those final touches.

Thanks for the nice post. Sorry for the non-standard keybindings. I wrote org2blog, as a way to learn elisp and get into the land of Emacs lisp programming. I wasn't aware that C-c [letter] keys are reserved for the user.

I tried Evil, recently. I found it buggy. I'm sticking to Vimpulse for the time being. Yes, Vimpulse is discontinued, but it gives you enough Vim power to be dangerous. Thank you for sharing, anyway. The future is Evil, anyway. Cheers.

Great.
I just discovered evil mode. One more thing I can recommend is Pentadactyl addon for firefox.

There also seems to be a small peak at 80ish bpm, reflecting the upbeat/downbeat distinction. Cool!

This is the best post on evil-mode. Besides, I love your post on org2blog.

You may try the following motions for sexp-navigation. The main difference to the Emacs ones is that (point) is that the closing ")" is considered as the end of an sexp and point is placed there instead of the following character. Note that this is only a quick hack and widely untested (there may very well be edge cases)!

(evil-define-motion evil-fwd-sexp (count)
:type inclusive
(setq count (or count 1))
(unless (zerop count)
(goto-char
(save-excursion
(condition-case err
(let ((opoint (point)))
(cond
((> count 0)
(condition-case nil
(forward-sexp)
(error (forward-char)))
(when (> (point) (1+ opoint))
(setq count (1- count)))
(forward-sexp count)
(backward-char)
(point))
(t
(setq count (- count))
(forward-char)
(condition-case nil
(progn
(backward-sexp)
(setq count (1- count)))
(error (backward-char)))
(backward-sexp count)
(point)))))))))

(evil-define-motion evil-bwd-sexp (count)
:type inclusive
(evil-fwd-sexp (- (or count 1))))

Thanks for your insightful post, great that there are some people who come from Emacs to modal editing via Evil :)

Some points to add:

@Combining Commands
vfa; can also be written as v2fa just to demonstrate that f(ind) and t(o) also take numeric arguments (think of M-2 for the rest of Emacs). Also most other (motion) commands take numeric arguments.

Evil supports text objects so you can also define your di$KEY to delete inside such a text object. (For more see evil-commands.el)

@Defining normal mode commands
From the Merge Request emerged the evil-leader package, to be found here: https://github.com/cofi/evil-leader (I also added it now to the plugins list on emacswiki/Evil)

@My dotfiles
cofi-evil.el depends on cofi-util.el and the cl package, if you copied code and something fails look there ;) (well and the other `require'd packages)

evil-{define,declare}-key support also more than one definition at a time to keep your key bindings clean.

I mapped my CapsLock to Ctrl and use `jk' to exit insert mode (look for cofi/evil-maybe-exit) because this way using other Emacs packages (that sadly never heard about Evil) is way easier. You can also exit insert state via C-[ but that's quite cumbersome.

Last but not least: Evil is discussed at the vim-emulation mailing list also accessible via gmane: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.vim-emulation that surely should also go into the 'Where you can learn more' list ;)
