Both are useful.  Some people like to edit score files and group
properties directly using the Lisp-like interface , and some people
prefer to edit them using the Customize-like interface.  Gnus offers
both, and should probably do the same with MIME composition.

Only problem is that writing a Customize-like interface for MIME
composition is a lot of work, and I have this unpleasant feeling that
it is not going to get done unless I do it.  So I'd settle with an
interface where `C-c C-a' adds a `Gnus-Attachment:' header, which is
expanded into some MIME stuff when the article is send.
