Eh, it was just all the little things -- I couldn't get it to look right (fonts, icons, etc) and I wasn't willing to spend the time customising it. I didn't need to do that with Kmail -- the default look just is nicer, in my opinion, although I realise that's a subjective feeling. And I kept running into gotchas that annoyed me. Things like, when I would show all headers in a mail with the intention of copying them, I discovered that each line was a separate text control and you couldn't select text from two header lines simultaneously. Apparently you're expected to use a completely different interface, the View Source command, and select text from that.
