Another problem with running in a terminal is the lack of good integration with window-system cut/paste (e.g., where you can use editor commands to select text, copy it, and paste it in some other app, getting the actual text instead of just what's displayed on the terminal).
I often run Emacs in a remote screen session (well actually I open a terminal frame in my already-running window-system Emacs), and this is by far the biggest annoyance for me.

This works quite nicely in Vim (even when running in console) with X11. You can access both X11 clipboards from Vim if it was compiled with that option (if you use binaries, most likely it is). The registers for X11 clipboard are "* and "+.
