Since people have responded about key mapping and GUI capabilities, I won't belabor the point. You can also tab-complete any esoteric command, so using them can be fast.
Also, I haven't felt either that with or without mouse is better for text editing, as I'd like to take some time to actually start typing my code after looking through at the various part of my code with my mouse wheel scrolling, instead of having the necessity to keep my hand on keyboard all the time for endless typing. I can help to have my hands to relax off keyboard from time to time.
vim does have excellent mouse support (both gvim & console vim). Try it--you can even use your mousewheel. Just because a lot of people who use vim find they are more productive with their fingers on the homerow doesn't mean that you need to keep them there to use the editor.
