I have no idea what gvim is actually good for. The non-GUI version runs very nicely inside of xterm or rxvt, so what?
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).
<-- just a rethorical question
Oh. Sorry... ;-)
