Except for the cool features like scoring, threading, sane IMAP support,
good and fast searching with nnir, good integration with org-mode, two
rather simple things make me totally dependent on gnus:
1. gcc-self: I don't want to separate my mail in "received" and "sent".
I want to see complete conversations!
Frankly, yesterday at my father's computer I've seen that Firefox now
has a "Keep replies in current folder" feature. But of course it's
not as flexible as gnus gcc-self.
2. I really, really hate receiving badly formatted mail. Gnus washing
commands help a bit sometimes, but more importantly, message-mode is
just awesome for writing perfectly formatted plain-text mail. If you
write me some totally bogus, messed-up Outlook salad, you'll get a
perfectly formatted reply where even your own text looks good (and of
course the request to use some sane email program).
Ah, and not to forget, there are all those little niceties like
gravatars, notifications and google contacts integration that have
changed it from a bit baroque to well-integrated on the free desktop and
so Web 2.0-y.
Bye,
Tassilo
