I'd agree, but I'd add configurability. Though I'm sure there are GUI
mail clients out there that can be as highly configured as mutt - I
haven't found one (don't get me started on evolution). :P ;)
I also like it because I'm a vim person...
I also read my email through ssh...
I think there's a lot of horses for courses involved too, but it's the
best I've come across and the most highly adaptable to my changing
needs.
