I know people will tell me to use emacs; I actually did give it a hard
try once, but I didn't really get the feel for it, so I'm still a vi
fanatic.  Now, GNU makes lots of fine products, but there is no "gvi".
I'd actually like to use many of the nice features of GNU emacs, but
used with the vi-touch in my fingertips.

Is such a thing planned, worked on by somebody, even made, or ...?
Would it be possible to somehow give GNU emacs the vi-touch?  Am I crazy?

A reply 'no' to all is more welcome than the reply 'use emacs' :-)
