I use mostly gvim but occasionally I run Vim in console, for various
reasons. I agree with Tim Chase's arguments in favour of gvim.

I am on Linux. The preferences below will probably not apply on Windows,
and only partially on Mac.

If logged in to a text console: use that.
If logged in to X11: I use konsole (in most cases) or mlterm (for RTL or
bidi text).

Additionally, in terminals with 88 or 256 colours (including konsole and
mlterm but not the Linux text console) I use the same (or nearly the
same) colours as in gvim, thanks to the CSApprox plugin, see
