I prefer it FWIW. After setting up your Email, it is much easier and faster to send a mail than go through a PR-process. On the reciving end you can respond inline to the patch, in the compfort of your email client, without having to use a browser.

My feeling is that people who don't like this, don't have a good mail setup (which is understandable given some hosts), making Email much more painful to use in general.
