Indeed, I think we all think so. Like you, I came from pine, just a month ago, and I love it!. Mutt have just one "problem". It is slow to open folders, because it does not cache them. Pine did it, and it feels much more fast. I don't know if there is a option for that, but I believe not. On the other hand, mutt is GNU, wich is verry important to me, and is TOTALY configurable, and I can make it work the way I want. Once more, I want to congratulate the developers!
