Mine are better.

Hmm, what problem are you seeing when you try it with vim in a terminal? It's working for me:



Seems like a decent theme, though I'm an Emacs user so I'll probably never use it again. I felt dirty even testing it.

Hmm, Java syntax highlighting works for me with the molokai theme in vim in a terminal.

My terminal is mrxvt, using the Monofur font and a transparent terminal window (so the background is my desktop, with a bit of tinting in the terminal).

Here's the contents of my ~/.vimrc:

colorscheme molokai

Seriously, that's all I have in it. I never use vim. In fact I installed it (and the molokai theme) today just to see what that theme looked like.

I think Emacs is better than vim. It can do a lot more, that's for sure. Here's what my current Emacs theme looks like:

Those screenshots look terrible, they're too small to really see what the theme looks like.

This is using the tango theme.

There are two different VIM themes I use depending on the purpose.

For normal editing, I use the "railscast" theme (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2175).
For vimdiff usage (e.g. when merging .rpmnew files or doing git-merge), I use peaksea (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=760). Peaksea is the only theme I know of that doesn't mess up in diff mode.

You can use some .vimrc trick to select the themes automatically depending on whether you're using diff mode:

if &diff
    blahblah specific to diff mode
else
    blahblah specific to normal mode
endif

Edit: I don't use gvim, just plain vim, so the above recommendation may not work as desired for you.
Both themes works great on a dark background. For peaksea you'll have to set a "dark" flag (see linked peaksea page).

Dare I say it...

That's looks like emacs to me.
