For a GUI editor, Zed is nice, but for me, the killer feature of vim is that it runs inside a terminal emulator. Being able to SSH-in, or even dial-up, and work directly on a remote machine is huge. Some GUI editors have SSHFS integrations that make it easier to edit remote files, but I've found them to all be rather unreliable, and unavoidably so--given the inherently unreliable nature of networks.
