That goes both ways.  I too greatly prefer threaded views.  I use it exclusively when reading all my mail, which also
fully (short of buggy mail senders) maintains the 'proper' threading.

Clearly this is a matter of personal choice and not something that's clearly right or clearly wrong.  Pretending it is
just perpetuates the argument.  Not allowing the user to choose their preferred navigation / reading / browsing style
necessarily restricts the audience to the set of people that prefer the tool author's preferred style.
