So do other vim GUIs. It's a text editor. Looking at my vim I just see a lot of text. Text which I edit. But that aside, the distinction between TUIs and GUIs is completely artificial. The only difference is that a "TUI" *cannot* display images, even when it might be useful. A well-designed text editor GUI will be pretty much entirely text too. cls
