Horrid. Besides poor threading (I'm speaking about the UI itself), it's unbelievable how HEAVY google groups feels when loading and using their web interface. It's so sad to think that google groups was the best interface ever to nntp in the past when it took over dejanews. But it doesn't stop there. I had endless problems with regular subscribers ending up as junk. Likewise, as a subscriber, I had several issues in the past with subscription, where I had to contact the owner of the list and "debug" the issue (like there's anything to debug really: it just goes to junk and there's nothing you can do). It doesn't help that google groups doesn't show prominently the fact that it's a regular list you can subscribe to without creating any account. Fortunately, google groups generally plays well with gmane.org, so as long as they don't screw that up, I couldn't care less.
