I haven't used it myself, but viper-mode in Emacs is intended for
people used to "the other type of keybindings":

,----[ (info "(viper)Top") ]
| Viper
| *****
| 
| We believe that one or more of the following statements are
| adequate descriptions of Viper:
| 
|      Viper Is a Package for Emacs Rebels;
|      it is a VI Plan for Emacs Rescue
|      and/or a venomous VI PERil.
| 
|    Technically speaking, Viper is a Vi emulation package for
| Emacs.  It implements all Vi and Ex commands, occasionally
| improving on them and adding many new features.  It gives the
| user the best of both worlds: Vi keystrokes for editing
| combined with the power of the Emacs environment.
| 
|    Viper emulates Vi at several levels, from the one that
| closely follows Vi conventions to the one that departs from
| many of them.  It has many customizable options, which can be
| used to tailor Viper to the work habits of various users.  This
| manual describes Viper, concentrating on the differences from
| Vi and new features of Viper.
