Emacs is whatever you want it to be, and it has wonderful modal editing packages such as evil-mode[1] - which surpasses the editing system from vi that it is based on - and Meow[2]

Any fun ways to learn Emacs?
Using meow:https://github.com/meow-edit/meow I actually got keybindings in Emacs that are helix-like, so I use helix for certain projects and Emacs for others.
The muscle memory transfers well.

Helix: Release 24.03 Highlights
Thanks for the tip, meow looks interesting. I never got comfortable in evil-mode, but perhaps meow could be a gateway to trying emacs in anger.
Still waiting for kakoune/helix mode for gnu readline...

Emacs from Scratch Part Two
You have to go further for ideal IMO.
Evil and evil-collection integrates pretty well, but Meow integrates perfectly and uses the action visible first approach.

Packages that you would like to be in emacs core ?
I think I'd rather hope for meow over Evil. It's close to Evil but embraces more of emacs' default bindings for calling commands.

Devil Mode for Emacs
There's also Meow[1], which I currently use. You have to configure it first to suit your keyboard layout, but there are pre-built configs [2]
[1] https://github.com/meow-edit/meow
- Meow Modal Package mode line
What are some alternatives?
god-mode - Minor mode for God-like command entering
evil-collection - A set of keybindings for evil-mode
xah-fly-keys - the most efficient keybinding for emacs
kakoune.el - A very simple simulation of the kakoune editor inside of emacs.
doom-meow - A meow module for Doom Emacs
ryo-modal - Roll your own modal mode
emacs.d - Personal Emacs configurations
avy - Jump to things in Emacs tree-style
.emacs.d - Centaur Emacs - A Fancy and Fast Emacs Configuration
kmonad - An advanced keyboard manager
evil-snipe - 2-char searching ala vim-sneak & vim-seek, for evil-mode
embrace.el - Add/Change/Delete pairs based on `expand-region', similar to `evil-surround'.
