This was true for us even on a small student-organized webapp project. Even some of the guys on the team protested using MailMan and went on safari looking for alternatives while we were prototyping, then when the project was officially adopted by the college and all students were told "yeah, the old channels exist, but this is a new, officially sanctioned channel also", suddenly there was a lot more activity on MailMan.
