Almost everybody I know who is serious about email uses a desktop app for that? Also I use identi.ca over choqok or emacs (identica-mode). And IRC over Quassel. Or emacs :) (erc) When I?m at my own computer, no web-based program beats a desktop program. My Parents use desktop-based programs, too. Still I like the webinterface of freenet, because I can just send people links to http://127.? to show them how to configure something. But a desktop program which uses freenet as backend could be quite a bit nicer. Creating a good desktop GUI is a hell of a lot of work, though.
