The tool metaphor is realistic. In my experience (which dates back to
the 1980s), email ist a powerful tool, and people need to learn how to
use it properly, with the appropriate software set. Especially in the
area of technical mailing lists I see no reason to cater to dumb MUA
software.

If by "intuitive" you mean "used without engaging one's brain", I have
to disagree. Using a hammer without thinking can mean flattened thumbs,
and moaning about it is inappropriate.
