vim is great. but hard to understand where the advantages of the gui versions are (except forgetting the commands ;-)
Best text editor ever. Took some getting used to at first, but now nothing else compares
Works good. A little bit less scary than using vim directly inside the terminal. Can be a good start for learning vim.
Very nice thing. It has the flexibility of vim and the advantage of having a GUI, when you don't know the exact key combination for something.
