I started using TB and PocoMail at about the same time (97 or 98). Initially, I was drawn to poco -- its interface is, albeit [quirky?], 'prettier' but the more time I spent with the two, the more I was drawn into TB. The sheer power of it, for one thing -- very few aspects of it are beyond customization. TBUDL helped, as well -- I like an active support community, active development. Poco is probably easier for the novice user and has a few convenient features ( its scripting implementation is nice ) but all in all, TB Packs the punch, IMHO.

I'm absolutely stuck on MicroEd, RegEx, the template functionality . . . I find TB's different functions to be integrated into one another splendidly. I'll admit to not having toyed with Poco for a good year or so, though. Been using TB too long to not stick with it.
