Heh, I started using Mutt only because of "peer pressure" during my university years: all cool guys were using it! (Still with Mutt, > 10 years later.)

I think this is somewhat akin to Emacs: startup costs are enormous, but you reap the fruits for the rest of your life.

I am most certainly not an Emacs fan, but I have similar thoughts about WordStar, Vim, and of course Mutt.
