Amusingly enough, I'd say similar things about Evolution as
a long-time user of Mutt. ;)

I share your feelings about the list web interface, but I
think that instead of being an argument against having such
an interface, it's a sign that there are many types of users
and the more power each of us has to interact with each
other using our preferred tools, the better.  It's simply an
argument against moving to any sort of one-size-fits-all
software.

I think it's worth noting that there is no proposal.  It was
simply a tangent in a discussion on the devel list (which
was started to ask Gmail users to not send HTML mail to the
list).
