That's true. Although TBH, I'm not a fan of Emacs' key bindings. Some short ones like `C-a`, `C-e` are fine, but more advanced ones are difficult to memorize and force your fingers in unnatural positions. I prefer modal UIs and find Vim's keybindings much easier to remember and type. So for me evil-mode has been essential, and aside from some quirks, it works as well as in Vim. Readline also supports vi mode, which I enable in any app that uses it.
