I seem to remember this question came up before, but I don't know when or who. Maybe somebody wants to pass this along to the original poster, back from whenever?
I have been frustrated by Vim.app, because it's not cool about opening more than one file at a time. I was able to workaround it because simply "gvim" as a Terminal command worked fine, but there was no "Gvim.app" that could be used as the default editor for whatever file types you want.
So I created this guide that explains exactly how to do it:

Also, my system is very not-clean. I've experimented with a thousand different vim's and gvim's, so I'd like to solicit feedback from anyone who wants to try it. To see if it goes smoothly for you, or if perchance I had something special in my system that helped me along and deserves more comment.
