I agree. Mailman is fantastic as it is. There&#x27;s a technical brevity and image it gives off, and that&#x27;s an important aspect of design. This isn&#x27;t really a statement about usability or what&#x27;s beautiful in design.<p>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.<p>mailman has an image behind it. People associate with different images, and certain looks and feels make certain people gravitate towards them.<p>The type of people I would want in my mailing list are the type of people that appreciate how mailman looks as-is.<p>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.
