That's an unsubstantiated slur:
- The menubar and toolbar can be removed via an option setting (two
flags in 'guioptions'). Not so for the menubar on any "modern" terminal
emulator.
- gvim isn't constrained by a terminal for its choice of fonts,
encodings, and keystrokes. If something goes wrong in its keyboard or
display interface, it's usually easier to find and fix, since only Vim
can be responsible, and it has first-quality help.
- Even if you (or I) keep the menu & toolbar displayed, any "precious
real estate" they take up is easily reclaimed by tweaking the 'guifont',
'lines' and 'columns' (with my usual settings, gvim has lines=63
columns=199 while a typical terminal would, at most, use 60 lines by 80
columns).
