You can remap everything in emacs (see evil-mode, vim for emacs) so you’re not tied to the ctrl-meta nightmare. There are vim plugins too, but not as integrated.
You can also uses a normal editor and copy-paste to the REPL.
Is there also something between emacs kraken keys and vims modal keys? It's not that I have a problem with modal modes, but vims focus on navigation is just not matching my habitual thinking.
Have you looked at devil-mode? If by Kraken you mean key chords, devil-mode lets you type without key chords but it does not force modal editing on you.
