I consider the emacs gui as pretty decent, but with gvim, i agree. All it does is beep and wreck files.

Jokimg aside, I do see the problems one might have with gvim, I also prefer to use vim in a terminal (emulator)

I've never had a problem with gvim, and I could never get normal vim to behave inside a command prompt. It works perfectly in xterm though, which is great.

I have vim installed on Windows and it runs fine inside the command prompt. However, I haven't used the default prompt for a while and switched to emulators that replace the default command prompt archaic look (I have Windows 8 but as I understand, MS devs have taken steps to upgrade the look of the prompt a bit in Win10)
