Well, this is mainly the reason why I used gnus for more than 2 years but I think it's a very _bad_ reason. I recently have to configure Thunderbird and it took me less than 15 mins to configure 3 IMAP mailboxes, and to subscribe to a couple of news group, configure the threaded view, doing some searches, archiving some articles etc... guess how long it took me to do the same with Gnus ? :(
