And yet I find TB! extremely lacking in many areas; just like I find
others lacking in many areas. To put it bluntly, TB! isn't doing anything
that wasn't standard on a BBS when I was a teenager.

Point was also to highlight the one part that people /WILL/ use on a
consistent basis. TB! is one of only two email clients that handles multiple
accounts in a sane manner. Even a power user like me pushing close to 1k
messages a day through TB! only has two dozen filters, a whole *2* folders
with automated deletion and maybe 1 alternative template which is needed. I
have 2 others which are fluff and nothing more. I find them useful, yes, but
I could switch back to PMMail tomorrow if they released a version with IMAP
and not miss them. OTOH, IMAP in a package that doesn't handle multiple
accounts properly is useless to me.
I don't get the notion that the cutsey fluff features mean poo in a one
line summery. If they did you'd all lose anyway because we can't skin TB!.
