For me, mostly force of habit, these days. Mouse support under rxvt is
now pretty decent (hmm... looks like dragging the status bar between
two split windows doesn't work in rxvt), color support is OK (although
you're limited to the standard colors, and there's no <b>bold</b>,
<i>italic</i> and <u>underline</u>, for instance). I guess the main
convenience of using gvim, for me, is that it frees up my terminal to do
other stuff (like, follow the instructions in the README.txt I just opened).
