   Vim and GVIM are the same thing - just different looks.  Personally, I use   
   GVIM for everything.  Plain VIM (in the terminal) is unusable on the   
   Raspberry Pi, because the colors are f***ed up.  Yes, this is fixable, but   
   it is not worth the trouble.   
      
   As usual, LDO's comments (quoted above) are nonsense.
