Modeless Vim
You can also use Hydra for Emacs.[1] Once I discovered how to configure Hydra, I made it a habit to make one for every new major mode I need to use.

Can you explain the power of emacs please?
An Emacs specific example: I'm working on a few go projects at the moment and go requires recompilation after changes. Step one was finding auto-recompilers for my projects (I'm using both air and reflex in various projects). Step two was realizing that I spent a lot of time switching to the buffer where the output is printed, so I wrote a little hydra menu to make that easier. Then I found myself having to restart those processes each time I restarted Emacs, so I went digging and found detached to manage the processes. Then I got tired of having to hunt for where the detached output was displayed in my frame so dug into sidebars to manage the windows more effectively.

Is it possible to make god-mode turn off automatically after a command?
I think the goal of the hydra package is to provide such functionality.

Non-evil users: what modifiers do you use on emacs?
I would I also encourage anyone who does not want to use modal editing to look into repeat-mode, hydras, and key-chord.

Newbie question: What is a good strategy for personal keybindings to avoid conflicts, including with packages installed later on?
The C-c prefix is designed for you, the user, to use for your nefarious deeds. Some things that may help with both binding and knowing what key does what would be a menu such as hydras or transient menus (which apparently are part of Emacs now so that's new).

Too many keybindings
For the very same reason, I started to use hydras: https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra - see my config at https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

How usable is Emacs with its default keybindings?
Hydra lets you define mini-modes with limited scope.

A good config with leader keys
general.el also works well with hydra.el. Here's my hydra for window operations - it activates when I press ,w:
