I went from gnus/emacs to Unison.

Unison suffers from a few really annoying flaws - filtering sucks, 
there's no archive of one's posts, it does not allow you to keep your 
config files in Dropbox (I tried a variety of ways, contacted the 
authors, got nowhere), and worst of all, crashes every time I invoke 
"Ignore Sender…" to add someone to my filters.  No way to mark a 
message as a "favorite" or whatever to keep it around - it's either 
read or not-read.  Saving local copies of messages can be done, but the 
saved copies are plain text files, not integrated into the UI.

Even with all that crap, I still use it.  I like the UI a whole lot.

For my needs, at this point, it generally sucks least.

I may go back to gnus, though.  I'd been running it via ssh to a remote 
machine completely maintained by someone else and it may be worth 
setting up my own local copy on OS X and just point it at the remote 
nntp, smtp, etc.  I've been a little to lazy to mess around with it in 
quite some time.

FWIW, gnus also works quite nicely as an IMAP client.  It's pretty slick.

But you have to love being in emacs.  I don't anymore, but I used to 
pretty much spend my whole day in emacs.
