I'm a diehard Vim user, but have had to use ST+Vintage to pair on a coworker's computer. It's great for about ten seconds. Then your brain gets tricked into thinking it's actually Vim, tries an unsupported shortcut, and gets horribly confused. Incredibly aggravating.

Have you tried the Vintageous plugin? I'd be interested to know if it's any better.

I have, personally. It's great, but this:

    { "keys": ["j", "j"], "command": "set_action", "args": {"action": "vi_esc"}, "context": [{"key": "vi_must_change_mode"}, {"key": "vi_is_buffer"}, {"key": "vi_mode_insert"}] },
    { "keys": [";"], "command": "vi_colon_input", "context": [{"key": "setting.command_mode"}, {"key": "vi_enable_cmdline_mode"}] },

is the reason why I still use Vim.

The Vim way, for context:

    i[nore]map jj <Esc>
    n[nore]map ; :
