That'd be a strong reason, perhaps the only one pulling me off mbox.

Mutt dealt so-far so well with my huge mboxes that I just was too
lazy to explore alternatives. Every couple of years I split off
the older part of my main mbox to an archive (high traffic mailing
lists get their own mboxes) and that's it.

From time to time "ideas" crop up about changing my setup, but up
to now, not one has come with enough impulse to surmount the
activation energy :)
