I think it is worth it because of the benefits of it being cradled by
mother Emacs : having all my normal text tools for translation,
spelling, searching etc in my gnus buffers is just too cool. It all
works together too well. I do remember being frustrated earlier because
of the incomprehensible manual and the raft of options (and being newish
to emacs). But it was worth it.
And there are tons of examples out there of working set ups where all
that needs to be changed is the select method and a different .authinfo.
