One with Vim - Hackdot

gvim has menus and the keyboard-reinforcing shortcut hints. Also, you can copy/paste with other windows (which is why I started using it over vim).

I'll echo the gvim menu hints recommendation for Windows users.

As to copy/paste, does that depend on the platform? I use vim in a terminal on Linux and Ctl+Shft+C/Ctl+Shft+V on selected text works fine for clipboard transfers. I don't use vim on Windows often enough to remember how things work there, however, and the article that prompted this discussion was focused on Mac usage.

I don't recall. I use gvim/vim on linux (although not gvim from term, because I don't like seeing the GLib errors :) ).
