If you took a second to look at his link you would understand that. POP3 for a typical mail client is for people who are mired in the 1990's and thus slavishly move mail from computer to computer, program to program, either out of ignorance for a better way or just lack imagination. But if you never change computers, never change e-mail programs, never want to use another computer or device to check e-mail, then sure, POP3.
