As a big fan of vim and the hjkl paradigm, I've tried many of the plugins that try to make other software more vim-like. While I can fully understand the feelings of haldean, I've never felt it myself.
I'm pretty sure this is due to my expectations. I've never expected anything other than vim to have vim-like editor capabilities. Just having hjkl navigation is a major plus for me, and anything else is mostly gravy. Another thing I've found is that most of the plugins (at least the browser ones) are quite configurable, and if I'm not happy with or missing a keybinding, I'm free to modify or add it. I never liked gt and gT for tab switching, so I use zh and zl in vim and in my browsers, and AFAIK all of them (vimperator, pentadactyl, vimium, vim-chrome) allowed me to use them.
btw, an honorable mention should probably go to tmux, since it's copy buffers in vi-mode have pretty flawless vim-likeness.
