My reasons are simple.

I used to use Smartlist, which I had working quite well with MHonarc (archiver)

I *know* MHonarc very well, and after many days trying to format the output of the pages that pipermail gives me, I came to the conclusion that mhonarc is more flexible in it's configuration, to do what I require.

For somewone with simple requirements, mailman with pipermail is an EXCELLENT choice, but for more control over formatting the list archives, I found MHonarc gives me everything I need.

Now, I have 2 simple tools to use, mailman, and mhonarc.
