It's not as ugly as Thunderbird or a web-app. At least it follows most of the OS X conventions. Anyway the existence of Mailmate shows how the premise in the article is totally wrong - it's not hard to create a decent modern email client - it already exists and only takes one developer. A better title would be: Why is it so hard for users to use a good email client?
