That still has one disadvantage over replying to individual emails: no References/In-Reply-To header, so MUAs that do The Right Thing™ will not thread the mails properly. (But those that thread on the subject will do so, though they cannot know to which specific message in the thread the reply belongs).
That said, there are MUAs (especially web mail interfaces) that also do not set threading headers.
