What's wrong with that? I was a long time Pine user before switching to
mutt and I must admit that their menus are quite well designed and make
it easy to use very quickly. You can do whatever you want with a few
keystrokes. I don't really know what made me change for mutt (well,
actually it was a little pressure from a mutt-addict friend) because
pine suited me fine for what I did (of course now I would never consider
the inverse change). But the thing is that at first I was a but puzzled
by mutt's keybindings (which of course totally differ from pine's) and
constantly had to refer to the help before being productive. So a
menu-driven system is IMHO not necessarily a Bad Thing, so long as it is
intuitive and you don't have to dive through (n+1) sub-levels to reach
the desired command.
