It depends on how you perceive Vergil. Devil May Cry series isn’t black-and-white and obviously everyone has a different perspective. I will elaborate a bit.
I see it this way; It can be recognized that Vergil's alignment is/was Lawful Evil, in short, he generally does what he wants to achieve his goals, whether it's good or bad, based on his own code or believes. I also think that Vergil's reason wasn't just to seek power to defeat Dante, because it's quite shallow for such a character. I think that Vergil (just like Dante) probably resents their father that there was no one to protect them when the demons attacked their family when they were little. Their mother hid Dante and ran to look for him and she got killed. In these times Vergil had to save himself alone and couldn’t warn his family on time, so after that I think Vergil was convinced that no one would help him anyway, the only one who can protect him is he himself, hence his desire for power, just like he said "…without strength, you cannot protect anything.” Seeing how traumatized Vergil was (with Dante as well), he wanted to build "a shell" around himself.

Vergil abandoned his human heritage and only accepted his demonic, where Dante was the opposite. I think that rejection of humanity could make an influence on Vergil too, because of the fact that demons have an evil nature themselves (with exceptions like Sparda). Before the events in DMC3, I believe that Vergil had moments of some normality with Nero’s mother. Maybe there would be a chance in this woman to get Vergil to sort himself out, but his searching for more power just consumed him totally. I can't tell.

In DMC5, his human half V realized how many bad things he did as Vergil and what atrocities his demon half is doing now, so it started to make me wonder that maybe Vergil didn't have much control over himself earlier, because as I mentioned, he rejected his human side, so this "V” couldn't talk some sense into him. On the other hand, maybe he knew what he was doing, but then why only V, who could look at everything clearly, understood it later.

There are also a few questions. Did Vergil want to save himself, so he separated his human and demon halves and thought that his demon half would be alone strong enough to defeat Dante? Did he know what Urizen would do to gain more power? Everyone can only speculate.
However, let's make one thing clear: Vergil had no intention of killing people in the first place. It wasn't his goal. He was indifferent to their existence, although V saved the mother and child himself and it was selfless (Visions of V~ manga).
Finally, Vergil accepted his human heritage and along with Dante no longer intended to kill each other. Instead of that they make a sparring in Hell while talking like siblings again.

To sum up, is he evil or isn’t he? I would say maybe lost. Vergil is the most misunderstood character in the entire series, but these are my conclusions, everyone can have a different opinion and think the opposite. For me Vergil isn’t a vilian, but he is an anti-hero. Although it doesn't mean that Nero and Dante are completely good and pure characters. They may have good hearts, but they also have their own issues.

Love ya btw great page

Virgil isn't totally evil, because he has emotions, a lot about it in the manga, only sociopaths don't have them.

Looking at it psychologically, you're right.

funy is that ppl say dmc is black n white where it isnt like angel said. dante want to kill vergil so it makes him good? ofc not. its evil too.

Dante doesn't want to kill Virgin and never has. Also, if he did, that would be based, not evil.
