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).
