I'm subscribed to over 20 mailing lists from 10 origins. It would be really 
inconvenient to have a different interface to read each of them, each with 
its own limitations which can't be fixed by using a different client 
software.

It's easy to check what's new in all mailing lists with a single key 
combination. It would be significantly harder if I had to click on each forum 
separately (and for each in a different place).

For me a mailing list or a newsgroup are the only viable alternatives.
