I'd agree from a personal perspective - text is best for email.
However, in
a corporate setting HTML emails consistently outperform text only emails
in marketing campaigns, so I can't see them going away any time soon.

HTML emails with images etc...
I have to make these things all the time, your best best is to use
tables for layout, and place all your style definitions WITHIN the body
tag, not the head tag. Inline styles are not necessary for the most
part. Of course testing needs to be involved.
Yes, this is a far cry from how a compliant web page would be built, but
in the same respect this is a totally different animal altogether.
Using that method has had pretty consistent results across most of the
interfaces people use to read email.
