Is there any reason someone would consider switching to gnus from mu4e? I'm always open to, and quite enjoy, trying new things in emacs when it seems promising

Is there any reason someone would consider switching to gnus from mu4e? I'm always open to, and quite enjoy, trying new things in emacs when it seems promising but am not familiar with the relevant differences.
- noctuid 3y agoI've used both. Mu4e is a lot simpler for email. I plan to eventually switch to Gnus for everything since it handles so much more than just mail (feed reader, hacker news, reddit, twitter, newsgroups, etc.), but mu4e is much easier to set up. Gnus really shines when you need to deal with a higher volume of messages than you will ever read. Mu4e now uses Gnus' code for viewing emails by default. Mu4e's headers mode will look a lot nicer than Gnus' article mode though. Gnus is massive and has a huge learning curve. It would be great if you are working with very active mailing lists. If you're dealing with a small amount of email, there won't be much benefit.
