evil is the recommended vi emulation these days. You could say emacs has *at least* three vi emulation modes.

I bet that folks that prefer vi to Vim would prefer viper to evil.

Those exist? That's like hipster^2 (I say this as someone who can't even type a damn email without my Vi(m) reflexes kicking in).

I imagine some people prefer vi because they think Vim is "bloatware".
