I think there is a collection of macros that make Vim look familiar to Windows users, which may address the ease of use issue. That is, give Windows users the option of gVim Easy plus the mswin.vim macros. How Vim is called can (easily?) be incorporated in the user preferences. I see at least two issues: how to keep things familiar and easy for a new user, and how to allow "power users" to achieve their needs. For example, I use gVim as my external editor, and it does substantial preprocessing of my mail before I edit it. This is a crucial part of my email experience. So access to gVim clearly allows the latter. But can it provide the former? I think so. In fact I think both could be achieved in a pretty "stripped down" gVim.
