For me it is the other way around. I want to couple with Emacs more
closely, but Gnus prevents me from doing so. A few gripes follow.
1. Emacs is single threaded, so a network interruption while reading my
email over IMAP means my emacs server is stuck!
2. Oh that's easy to solve, use maildirs (sync with OfflineIMAP). That
does not work well because Gnus uses its own flags (an example where
Gnus actually breaks standards)! There are some hacks around that
out in the wild, so let's let it slide.
3. Gnus stores some meta information/cache for maildirs in a .nnmaildir
folder *inside* the maildir directory tree!
maildir
├── .nnmaildir
├── cur
├── new
└── tmp
I do not know how, but this supposed meta information or cache takes
about 2/3 of disk space as the original maildir! Obviously that is a
problem for large mailboxes.
Apart from this I often notice broken threads from posters using Gnus,
not sure if Gnus or the user is to blame there.

I use mutt-kz (mutt with notmuch integration) and emacsclient. With
support for linking using org-notmuch, I couldn't be happier.
