I could... but then I like the interface. Esp nn's for news. Also
I prefer to stick to 1 tool-1 use type of thing and then put things
together. (this kind of modularity rocks my world :)

Also, it means I can go to any box, install say mutt and vim and 
only wind up installing a few meg worth of stuff to get a familiar
interface rather then:

[14:56:40] root@theirongiant:/root>> apt-get install gnus
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  emacs20 emacsen-common 
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  emacs20 emacsen-common gnus 
0 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/10.3MB of archives. After unpacking 31.5MB will be used.
