I use NNTP. I much prefer the command-line news interface to Google Groups, but I guess I wouldn't go so far as to say I would have "difficulty" switching to a regular email subscription. Or, to put it another way: If there were an NNTP interface, I would definitely use it, but I wouldn't want anyone else to be stuck implementing and maintaining it just for my occasional use.
I wonder why no one has developed a command-line NNTP-like interface for email? Maybe following mailing lists via RSS and feed readers has satisfied the need enough that no one got around to it?
This looks interesting, if anyone's motivated: http://www.methodize.org/nntprss/ Allison
