I'd have to say, you have to be daft to use Gnus, which is a sort of
compliment....in a different way.
I don't know why I use Gnus but I do know that if I use some other
mail client, I feel unhappy with the workflow that the new mail client
imposes on me. So I stick to Gnus. :-)
As others will attest, Gnus works; its terminology is not exactly
mainstream (heck, if you're using Emacs, you're already a hippie) and
the documentation is huge for a mail client. It sure ain't Apple(TM)
for user friendliness at first. But you keep hammering at it, one day
you will get it; Exhausted by the sunk cost, you will stick to Gnus
for the rest of your email life.
Trust me, that happens. Look at this crowd on this list! :-)
Or me.
