Anyway, I don't understand why some people make such a fuzz about it. Is it
so hard to get used to the new settings, even if it's the standard setting

Its not hard for pros like you and me. But its hard for beginners starting
with the whole linux and audio and email-lists -things. And they don't get
the replyToList-thing. Never[*]. On all the beginners-lists I am/was
subscribed to... Why should we make it hard for them (and us having to
reply/forward their answers to the list)?
I know that all the sane emailers will do it right (kmail can recognize when a
folder contains a mailinglist and the normal replyTo will then do the right
thing) but if we really want to be open to new folks exploring the free
software world in all its beauty we should really lower the stakes and
introduce them to proper-rfc-compliant-lists only when reaching higher levels
(like *-dev).
As an experience technology trainer, it is always better to teach new
students the right way to do things from the beginning - then they don't
have to get confused by later learning that you taught them the *wrong*
way to do it.
