I've found the path of least resistance is to not change the default keybindings of the various emacs packages. Use the vi bindings for text manipulation and when you need to invoke a package function it's back to the ctr/meta chords. It's the text manipulation that's burned into my brain so as long as vimpulse takes care of that I'm mostly happy.

It's true though that if you're heavily invested in vim plugins there's fair time sink in getting up to speed on the emacs equivalents. Everything's a tradeoff.
