I use a terminal with tabs (gnome-terminal). I don't want to open a
new terminal when I want to edit a file but either use my existing tab
or open a new tab.

I don't want to see my applications menu full of aptitude, info, mc,
nano, w3m, etc.

I think it's worth mentioning that a large percentage of Debian users
already do not see vim.desktop. Handling this in vim directly seems to
make more sense to me than in a separate .desktop that most people
don't even know exists (the GNOME blacklist).
