I think so.  But perhaps we have taken the two options to an extreme.
The nndoc view of MIME is totally pedantic, and displays absolutely
all information there is about a MIME multipart -- more information
that anybody wants.  The Gnus inline view of a MIME multipart goes
overboard the other way, trying to hide all MIME-ness from the viewer, 
and presenting a purdy, seamless whole.

I guess most other serious implementations that have been attempted
(say, TM and SEMI, which are the only other two serious
implementations I've seen (although my guess is that the VM
implementation is probably quite serious, but I haven't seen that (and
no, I don't think the Mozilla implementation is serious.  Or the MSIE
one))) have been somewhere in the middle of these two extremes, but
I'm quite comfortable with the current Gnus situation.
