I'm also late to this discussion, and wanted to mention
viper mode. I've recently migrated to Emacs from Vim --
mostly for org-mode, and I don't think I could survive
without Viper mode. :) Someone mentioned viper earlier in
this thread, and having trouble with it with org-mode.
Actually, I find it works fine. There are a couple gotchas,
like avoiding "dd" for folded items (as mentioned). Use C-w
or M-w to cut/copy a folded item.  And you'll probably want
to configure your .viper file a bit.  

But for me, at least, having spent years in Vim, Viper mode
is well worth it.  Besides, you can always C-z into Emacs
mode if you need to. I don't need to for org-mode, but
occasionally do for other other Emacs things--ledger-mode
reconciling, for instance.
