> You can move windows around, put them side by side

Why wouldn't you be able to do that with a CLI editor?

You can, but I'm not convinced that is as efficient. As someone who uses keyboard a lot, even for window management, I still reach for mouse whenever it is convenient. That's just one example. When you think about all the little information around (like in the status bar below), all the GUI elements like buttons. Just think about how IDE shows text at different sizes depending on the context, that alone should be a good argument against a CLI editor.
