I tried it a long time ago, but it was still really buggy on Windows...

I do remember that its interface didn't seem to be nearly as polished 
(being that it was GTK based).

But, like I said - with TBirds extensions capability, I really don't see 
myself moving away. There are only two big things baout it I don't like:

1. No proper 'Signature Manager' (yes, I've seen and used the Signature 
extensions (Signature, Signature Switch, etc), but they still require 
you to manually create the sigs first. This is a *glaring* lack in my 
opinion...

2. Monolithic message storage... this is still a biggie to me, but I can 
live with it...
