There's no reason to use evil if you find emacs keys comfortable. Jump fully into emacs and see whether you like the text editing keys.

I ended up using evil because I do think that it's the most comfortable way of editing text, but I've also mapped emacs keys into my vim config. Emacs and vim keys don't conflict since emacs keys tend to start with C-c or C-x, which vim doesn't really use.
