I don't think this is _really_ a "there are two kinds of people in the world..." situation. Of course there are some people who have preferences (strong or weak) for one or the other, and completely legitimate pros and cons to each. But I don't want to "trade" anyone. I'd like to bring everyone along.
I reread the thread-starter. I did not get that impression. What I read was: we'd like to replace the mailing list with discourse. That's it.
There was some mention of discourse's mail integration, but it was clearly "mark the checkbox" type of thing.

I do not believe that any web-based discussion forum would ever be comparable to a mailing list, The two environments are worlds apart, and irreconcilable, that's simply the way it is. They work in fundamentally different ways. I typed and deleted about two paragraphs' worth of my explanations why web-based forums are not a replacement for mailing list, I changed my mind and concluded that this kind of advocacy won't matter much. In the end, whatever happens, happens. The chips will fall where they may.
