Disadvantage: It requires using a web interface to post. Everyone who
enjoys using a browser form rather than their own customized text
editor, raise your hand.

Sure. Right now I use gmane to read d-u. That means that I can
actually view it as a newsgroup. I don't think that is possible using
google groups. You also lose the power of all of the filtering that
can be done via procmail, maildrop, etc. I bet a lot of long-time
posters here have developed all sorts of ways of processing these
emails.
