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...

Gvim is probably what you're looking for. There's also an easy-to-use version called cream.

What makes you say a GUI is required for code folding? A screenshot of vim: https://blog.stefanpopp.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/vim7.p...
