I've tried a number of Vim replacements in the past that always omit really key features like macros, searching, correct escape configuration (Ctrl-[ god damnit!), g/s/v commands and any other number of things.

Is this one really, ACTUALLY a good vim substitute? Or do I have to relearn a ton of stuff just to get to the same level of knowledge and comfort I have with Vim?

It's so good that some people call it a Vim re-implementation, not an emulator.

It's not perfect, there's still some learning to do around the fringes where it interacts with emacs, but it is by far the BEST vik - like - but - not - vim experience I've seen so far. Much better than Sublime's vintage or any of the IDEs that provide Vim keybindings.
