It seems to me that the whole point of application protocols like e-mail,
IRC, netnews, and Gemini itself is to accomplish a specific task. Yes, you
can extend most of them to do what the other does (I used to run an IRC to
e-mail bridge for reasons best left to history) but why? Anything powerful
enough to run Gemini can certainly run e-mail or netnews.
I'd love to know the source of the sentiment and if it happens to be an
aversion to 'switching applications', I'm sure a member of the church of
emacs will step up with alacrity.
Interacting with disparate protocols doesn't necessarily mean having a
dissonant experience. Your browser or OS can open your mail client
when encountering a "mailto" link. Pan and Lynx open your browser for
web links.
