Roy, I'm going to do a screencast on using ViEmu w/ R#. I can still pretty much do most everything w/ R# when ViEmu is installed and I get all the benefit from ViEmu.
Roy, not sure why you see ViEmu and Resharper as opposite ends, certainly you can use both (even together).
The primary purpose of ViEmu isn't really code navigation; obviously Resharper is much better at it. The goodness about ViEmu is about the Vim-like modes and keys for editing text, which certainly are superior (imho, since this isn't really something resharper provides, anyway).
I will agree it takes a bit getting used to Vim though :)
