GNOME Builder has a lot of these features, and it supports VIM and Emacs bindings. The author loves vim and didn't want to sacrifice that while writing an IDE. Git integration is happening, as well as debugging and various other things. I encourage you to check it out if you're interested in not just an editor but an entire IDE for the UNIX geek.

Is it Vim binding or vi-like bindings? Basically, does 'vipgq' (visually select the current paragraph and word wrap it to the current textwidth) work without being a special function?

It's sort of both. For instance, if you do a :wq or something like that it does work. So it does have that modal model where you can go from one to the other. What is impressive is that the bindings was done in CSS.

Well, `:wq` is an obvious one. What I mean is whether they have "bindings for vi keys" or if they have the actual verb/noun separation which is where the actual power of Vim comes from.
