Unison's not clunky.  There's one good rationale.

Kinda. Much as I want to like Unison, personally I find some of the 
important things (to me) to be less clunky with Thunderbird.

Everybody get's their own clunky.

That is just one of the reasons I prefer Unison 1.8.1 over 2.2, or even 
any of the v.2 releases.
I find alt.binaries.pictures.aviation to be the NG where binary issues 
are most annoying with Unison 2.2.

I use TB from time to time, but for now I just use Unison 1.8.1 or 2.2 
depending on how the mood takes me.

1. Get it.  You never know if it will be available in the future.

2. Get Thunderbird.  Not great?  Who cares?  It works, if not by
    pleasing everyone - and it's likely to be around longer -
    probably longer than any other Mac newsreader.

You are right, Thunderbird will be around as long as their is Mozilla.  
It is clunky, but effective and is supported.

OK, I've been trying to get Unison to open for two or three days now.
There's obviously something I'm doing wrong, but I'm fed up. Just
downloaded MacSoup, which seems to have decent instructional material.
Keeping Thunderbird in mind as well.  I don't want a big list on the iPad,
but at this rate I may yet end up with most of them here.

That, in a nutshell, is why 100% of my real-world friends could never 
cut usenet.  They couldn't figure out how to get it set-up.

I was having problems, until I unchecked the SSL button, and then, my 
eternal-september server got the green check and all the newsgroups 
just started to download!  Get ES, and set it up as per the 
instructions, but not with SSL!

SSL on E-S works just fine. You just have to set it up correctly.
