As a long time vim user, could I persuade you to try spacemacs in evil mode? I always liked the idea of the superior emacs ecosystem, but couldn't leave the brilliant vim command language. I found that this gives a good balance.
I was under the impression (from trying exactly this) that the vim keybindings conflict heavily with org-mode's keyboard shortcuts. For example, the table shortcuts didn't work at all for me in evil mode.
It may not work for everything, but spacemacs includes packages with evil bindings for the common modes and i use vim style org commands without hassle.
