I'm in a Windows environment at work and mainly write a lot of single-file scripts to help with day to day workflow. I've been using sublime and am interested in learning Vim, just cause. Is there any reason I should use standard Vim instead of gVim?

Not as far as I know - gVim's GUI is pretty minimal, and can be turned completely off if it bugs you. I don't think there's a way to get hi-color mode (i.e. nice, pretty colorschemes) to work in the standard windows console version of vim. I think you may be able to get that working in cygwin or mingw but I've never tried because :effort: Anyway, vim and gvim will both use the same config file, so you can switch back and forth effortlessly.
