Same here: comp.lang.python and gnus. Well, right now I am actually trying 
out slrn -- a bit of a dejavu experience since I used slrn a bit in the
early 1990s (and I have not used vi in many, many years).

I have tried out other programs such as traditional email clients and
mainstream gui programs such as Pan but find that user interface paradigm
does not work well for usenet news and me.
