As a long-time vim user, evil mode is the only thing that makes emacs bearable for me. Even then, it's not enough, and I find myself spending a ton of time rebinding emacs key bindings to make them more vim-like.
Switching from vim to emacs, while making emacs as vim-like as possible and customizing it to take advantage of all the things it can do will require a HUGE time commitment. If you've got the time to burn, then great.. go for it! If not, you might want to stick with vim, or resign yourself to using emacs in an emacs-like fashion, with the thin veneer of vim that evil mode provides.
