But I noticed that many Gnus users don't use the standard quote
prefix. There must be a reason.

BTW, the quote prefix can be changed in Mutt too (unfortunately), but
very few users did change it. Perhaps because users need to read the
manual and the manual strongly encourages not to change the default
value.

Gnus had other problems, but in the news this time: a multipart article
just to change the charset (in fact, it wasn't even needed). Its user
didn't even know he was posting articles in such a way. Perhaps this
is only related to configuration, but the configuration method should
be clear to the user and warn him against doing bad things.
