It can, and a significant part of the community uses that setup including me. You might be interested in checking 1. Spacemacs - http://spacemacs.org/: A config for emacs with starter packs. They have a good collection of leader key and vim bindings. 2. evil mode and evil-leader - Well integrated standalone vim emulation and leader key. I personally started building into vim keybindings in emacs via spacemacs, and then over time created my own config with the features I needed from spacemacs (which is much more than just vim emulation). PS: Should also mention https://github.com/noctuid/general.el. I don't use this one, but it is pretty popular too.
