There are some terminals which support tabbed windows, and copy and paste. If you have access to those terminals, the reasons you gave for using gVim don't apply. Though I'm not really sure that being able to use the mouse for copy and paste in vim is an advantage. I thought that one of the big productivity boosts when using vim was being able to ditch the mouse. Aren't you suppose to use v[movement]"+y to get something to your clipboard?

If you do want to use the mouse for selection for copy/paste, then selecting across the terminal text doesn't really work. Things like line numbers, folds, line-wrap characters and ':set list' characters end up in the selection when you don't let vim intelligently filter these things out for you.
