FWIW, I find Discourse (and everything similar that I've seen), awkward,
difficult to use, poorly organized, and in every way inferior to my mail
client.

Obviously, other people differ in opinion. Quite likely the majority of

experience though. Of course it's possible that the move will happen (I'm
basically a lurker here, andy preference really shouldn't be very
important).
