Sublime Text2 has vintage mode, it's vi mode editing package. http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/vintage.html

Oh, I'm aware it does. I was implying that as much as I like all the little, nice touches in Sublime Text 2 I still wouldn't use it without vi bindings. I started using it as my main editor after the last update which introduced vintage mode. :)

Warning, it doesn't always behave like vi. One thing I found was visual mode and pull up, pulls more than just the selected line (seems to be the entire block). Shift-V, j, Shift-J for those who want to confirm.

Sublime Texts vintage mode doesn't feel like vim at all. Even basic things like ':x' are missing.

By the same token it would be a great way for new users to learn vim while maintaining the comforts of ctrl-c ctrl-v and tab indents etc...

MacVim is great for that (if, of course, you are on a mac). It has all the great vi stuff along with the core OS style commands that everyone is familiar with. I believe gVim on Windows does the same but I'm not positive on that.

How would you do that? ctrl-v for instance is really useful in Vim.

You can probably implement these things yourself once you notice them missing.
