I used it for ages. Not least if you have more than one account and you start having to do name translations. I recently stopped using following yet another "complete download" which resulted from some unusual issue with syncing multiple cients using offlineimap. I had advocated it before- But no more. Get noGnus from the git repo. It works really, really well with a direct imap connection. I have thousands upon thousands of gmail spread over 3 accounts and connection and update is just about instant. The only issue is that I gave up on splitting - its simply too complicated for me to get working. You need to know elisp backwards from what I can gather. But thats not too bad since all my email is gmail based and I use server side filters to label the mails.
