it is
.  fast
.  very fast
.  robust
.  very very fast
.  it ignores most pop ups and other stuff
.  doesn't load anything but text unless asked to
.  no pictures
.  oh yeah it is fast. (I get an average of 3-500 e-mails a day)
.  it will run over third world phone lines that nothing else will work on
.  I'm also on the W3C/WAI subcommittee and Pine is minimum standard so it
allows testing at the same time.

and once you use it for a while it is intuitive, and it uses many of the
same conventions and comands as Pico, which I also like as a lean editor
