"Most Vim users start and stop many sessions per day -- considering the editor sessions to be subservient to the longer-running parent command shell"
That's not how I use vim. I keep a single gvim session open at all times, and do 99% of my editing there. Only about 1% of the time will I start a short-lived vim session in my shell to quickly do something that I don't feel like switching to my gvim screen for.
