It actually works similar enough that I switch between Vim and Evil daily without getting annoyed. I usually use Vim from the terminal. The follow things you asked about are all working:

  Macros
  Repeat
  :'<,'>s/foo/bar/gi
  :%s/foo\(bar\)/bar\1/

It is very actively developed and quite stable. There are of cause Vim features that are not implemented yet, but the core seams to be very well covered.
