Can’t speak for vim (Which vim? There are so many of them), but Emacs 
certainly can make use of a GUI. You can open multiple Emacs windows. You 
can click and drag to select. You can cut/copy/paste between an Emacs 
window and a window of another GUI app. You can use the mouse wheel to 
scroll. You can display fancy “attributes” attached to text in a buffer -- 
that includes defining clickable buttons, almost as though it were a GUI 
toolkit.

And then there is “emacsclient”, which lets me open a file for editing in 
the currently-running Emacs instance, from the command line.
