As I mentioned in my other email on vim-dev, I prefer the terminal version for such things as being able to suspend my session. MacVim's implementation of :shell isn't bad, though, so a little of that functionality is there. Not enough for me to prefer the GUI to the terminal, though. The preference of GTK over MacVim is due to the struggle I have had trying getting Hebrew to work properly in MacVim (and Terminal.app and the Carbon GUI). I haven't succeeded in any of those. But I have succeeded in the GTK GUI and in xterm. I wonder how it goes in the Windows GUI--I will have to have a look when I am at work tomorrow. If we could get that fixed (Hebrew working properly in MacVim), I would definitely prefer it to the GTK GUI or xterm. And indeed, if that were fixed, I may well start using MacVim more regularly for editing other files, too, as it would be already open. I still expect I would do most work in terminal Vim, though, as it is really my preference, and ideally it would work with the Mac clipboard. Cheers, Ben.
