Interesting. I use a variety of email clients, mainly browser-based ones (GMail, Fastmail), Thunderbird, and gnus. I keep gnus in
the arsenal for three main reasons:
1) I can do everything quickly without having to move my hands from the keyboard. If there isn't already a shortcut for what I want,
I can add one.
2) I need a decent editor for replies. I have not found a browser-based client that has this.
3) To bring this somewhat back on topic, I've recently discovered org capture, and I love the fact that I can capture a note with a
link to a specific email message.
That last feature alone is reason enough for me. FWIW, I'm on a Mac, and I generally use Gnu emacs for editing, programming, etc.,
and use Aquamacs for running gnus. This avoids any latency problems, etc.
