*Some* people hate email. Some people love it and it is an integral part of their workflow, both for communication and code needs. There are a lot of good reasons that is still used. https://lwn.net/Articles/702177/ >Email has been around forever, and everybody has access to it in one form or another. There are plenty of free email providers and a vast number of clients. Email works well for non-native speakers, who can use automatic translation systems if need be. Email is also friendly from an accessibility standpoint; that has helped the kernel to gain a number of very good blind developers. Email is fast, it makes local testing easy, and remote testing is possible. Writing scripts to deal with emailed patches is easily done. And there is no need to learn a new interface to work with it.
