Using one or the other is just a question of context for me.Īlso, like El Isra said, the default vim (CLI) in OS X is slightly outdated. Now I use both MacVim and Vim almost exactly the same way.

When I switched from TextMate I kind of liked the fact that MacVim supported almost all of the regular shortcuts Mac users are accustomed to. I use both MacVim and Vim depending on the task and the context: if I’m in CLI-land I’ll just type vim filename and if I’m in GUI-land I’ll just invoke Quicksilver and launch MacVim.

If you work mainly with GUI apps ( YummyFTP + GitX + Charles, for example) you may prefer MacVim. imo, if you're just starting to learn vim, you should start with w/e is the easiest for you. MacVim is more integrated in the whole OS than Vim in the Terminal or even GVim in Linux, it follows a lot of Mac OS X’s conventions. Anything you are used to do in Vim will work exactly the same way in MacVim.
