I would guess the main reasons the admins prefer a google group are: searching capability, maintenance simplicity, and free bandwidth/ storage.
The searching aspect is by far the most important for me. I rely heavily on this group for information. Nonetheless, there are features provided by other forum systems which would be nice to have. Perhaps Google might at some point decide to provide them: - subscribe for future updates to a particular thread - include inline formatted code into a post - subforums.
