What features do you use from gvim? I used to switch between them, but I hated updating the vim font when I decided to change my terminal font, so eventually I just switched to the terminal version full-time. It's been over 10 years at this point, but I don't remember anything useful in gvim.

The OS clipboard integration, the good font hinting and rendering, better colour rendering, the fact that the terminal doesn’t intercept some keyboard strokes. There’s a bit more, but I also find vim in the terminal to be less responsive overall than gvim.

I’m using MacVim as my gvim, but as I’ve indicated, the amount of code in MacVim is fairly small over that in gvim.
