I am using Boon - tried Meow, god-mode, even EVIL, didn't like them, not ergonomic enough - and I don't think it's possible to find a more pleasant way of using Emacs!
I even added an alternative layout for HJKL navigation (VIM-like).
I can still use the normal Emacs key bindings, but most of the time I simply press one single key to navigate, or an action key followed by a modifier/movement key. I switch to Insert mode by pressing `v` and back to Command mode by pressing either `ESC` or - my own addition - `C-;` which is much more ergonomic, especially for touch typists.
Since there seem to be so few Boon users, I feel like I am sitting on a big secret :)
