I tried very hard when I first installed Linux to get into a terminal-based workflow, mainly by creating an elaborate vim config. In the end I couldn't do it. I spent a lot of my time at my computer writing LaTeX documents, and for this the ctrl-click capability of a GUI editor is indispensable. That is, the editor brings up the source and compiled file simultaneously, and by ctrl-clicking somewhere in either, I am brought immediately to the corresponding place in the other display. I don't really use any conveniences of the editor (e.g. autocomplete) except this. Whereas, in vim, trying to do random-access edits like this with just a keyboard is sort of a nightmare. I'm sure there's a way to rig ctrl-click up in vim, but to me the appeal of vim is the (purported) speed boost from your hands not leaving the keyboard, so that really defeats the point. If anyone has ideas in this regard, I'd be happy to hear them!
