| I can't speak to the vimisms. Shell mode in emacs is really easy:
| M-x shell
|
| In emacs-speak, that's "hold down the Alt key, and press the x
| key, type
| 'shell' and hit return.
|
| You are now sitting at a shell.

If this is the sort of thing you're looking for then I have an
alternate solution.  I was a hard-core emacs user who switched to
vim and the one major thing i missed was running a shell in my editor.

Then I found Ion (http://modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~tuomov/ion/) as my
window manager for X.  My productivity in everything shot up by
about 25% after i got used to it.

Of course, if you're in windows, maybe emacs is the way to go :)
Or, quite frankly, if you love emacs then good on ya.  It's a great
editor.

Regs,
Derek
