Personal attacks are not allowed on HN, even when someone seems arrogant. Please post civilly and substantively, or not at all.

Arrogance is telling someone they don't understand something, when they tell you "no."
> "User needs"
Do you actually design anything?

You're not telling me no, most specifically because I'm not pitching this to you. You're telling yourself no. You say you don't need it, and extrapolate your view of the world to everybody else's.
Really dangerous.
I design user interfaces and creating a new UI for basically what mailman does would really just be an attempt at grabbing a different target audience.
mailman has an image behind it. People associate with different images, and certain looks and feels make certain people gravitate towards them.
The type of people I would want in my mailing list are the type of people that appreciate how mailman looks as-is.
I try to practice great design where it matters most. A reskin of such software would be more aligned with the goals of junior designers and people who rehash weather apps with nice gradients on dribbble.
