Great, I just recently discovered viper-mode and vimpulse made it even

Thank you! Makes me happy about the time I have spent cleaning up
vimpulse.el for the web. I am CC'ing your feedback to Alessandro
Piras and Brad Beveridge (I did not write vimpulse.)
I have only tried it for a couple of days, so I don't have any
constructive feedback at the moment, except one modification I had to
make in vimpulse.el. In order to make it work I had to delete the line
'viper--key-maps
from the function my-get-emulation-keymap(). Without this I got an
error message telling me that viper--key-maps variable was void,
resulting in not being able to do anything in emacs (not even close
the window). Does this have any impact on the available features in
vimpulse?
I doubt it has any impact. But the fact that vimper initially caused
such a serious problem is a serious bug. Thank you for reporting it.
Where did you get your emacs-snapshot package? Did you build it
yourself? If you built a .deb or an RPM yourself and you still have
it handy, would you mind to send me it? (There are many free file
hosting services; try a Google search for "file hosting".)

Quick question: does either of them implement the "g" command (not
suffix), that works like this:
g/foo/<some vi/vim command>, eg:
g/foo/r more-foo-stuff.txt/
(as described in Kernighan's "software tools" book, it
does it in two passes: first go through
and "mark" each line that matches /foo/,
then the 2nd pass: from top to bottom, at
ever marked line, execute the command --
the neat thing being that if during an earlier part
of that 2nd pass, lines get added or deleted,
when it gets to a foo-line further down,
it still works, because the "marks" are
attached to the lines they're at, and thus
"move" along with their lines.
Anyway, vi and vim certainly have it, but some
emulators seem to be missing it.
At least if they did have the g feature, I sure
couldn't get it work.
