I agree Pine was a cute little program, and it served many people well at the time.
But the most important functions for me today in an email client are 1. fast search and 2. auto-complete of contacts and Pine/Alpine was lacking there.
(Gmail has great search but its UX overall is lacking - I find it confusing in many ways and it suppresses important information (e.g. headers, sometimes even an e-mail's subject line). It would be nice to have a non-cloud email client with such a fast search.)
