This is a senseless argument.  It shouldn't matter whether the 
programs are old or new.  If they work better for you, you
should use them.  If ssh+screen+mh is your ideal setup, fine.
If I want to use programs like acme mail (or even thunderbird)
because they're better for me, then it shouldn't matter how old
or `proven' they are.

(I assume you use ed to compose your mail - why would you
want to trust your editing to the new kid on the block?)
