The default configuration when replying without yanking shows the
"article-copy", in raw form, and I find it uggly. It shows all the
headers, and the message appear at the bottom only if you have a 25
inch screen ;-)
Shouldn't it be more like this ?
(gnus-add-configuration
'(reply
(vertical 1.0
(article 0.3) ;; We can discuss on this 0.3 instead of 0.5
;; but it's more difficult to argue for the
;; article-copy instead of article.
(message 1.0 point))))

It appears you don't want to use any of the information in the
*Article* buffer, for if you did want to use it, you'd do `F' or `R'
instead of `f' or `r'. So Gnus shows you the original article
buffer, thinking that maybe you want to copy and paste some part that
wasn't shown in the *Article* buffer.
Hm.
I wonder whether that's a convincing argument. I just wanted to
present it. It might even be the real reason why things are that way
:-)
Does anyone remember what was being said about this back in the mists
of time. I think that Lars talked about this behavior, but I don't
remember specifics. It could have been anytime between 1996 and
2000, say.

Yes, showing the article is a good thing, but not in raw form (like
with C-u g when reading, instead of 'g'), with *all* the headers, and
no color.
