Having ability to use nntp reader (Gnus) which I use for all my mailing
lists (via Gmane) is big 'pro' to choose, among many other things, D
over Rust.

NNTP provides automatic archive, powerful search ability on disposal, no
need to create sorting rules in order to keep my INBOX clean etc. No
need to say, that it means that one can use one's preferred editor to
compose *both* mail and news messages.

Moreover, when I had to use Discourse forum, I almost never used web UI,
but email interface...

Similar to the, now old & aging, web forums, I simply do not get what is
so great with things like Discourse forums in comparison with NNTP?

Similar wondering I have over popularity of Gitter/Slack over IRC...it
looks as these days it's fashion that one has to use special app for
each protocol used...


Sincerely,
Gour
