A lot of Vimmers have this exact problem. Vim has thousands of features, but each person ends up using / loving a couple dozen. The problem is, it isn't the SAME couple dozen so for an emulator to make any significant subset of Vimmers happy requires implementing thousands of features.
This is why all attempts to clone Vim end up failing, and why even amazing implementations (like Evil) fall short when that ONE muscle memory you depend on is missing.
