Having an (optional) gui is something "new". The parent post I was responding to asserted that there was nothing new in the editor space since emacs and vi. I just opened vi on my machine and I was unable to select text. Maybe there's a way to get it to work... but in Sublime and other graphical editors it just works. Thumbnail may have been a better word... Sublime has just that. I've found it useful when working on long files. But regardless, there are other features that a GUI enables, like code folding...
