The first question I can answer.  I use pine to read my email because it
allows me to read my email from anywhere, even the monocrome 80 character
screen I have attached to my server.  If I am outside the office, I can
also telnet into my machine and read the mail from any machine that has
internet access.

Why is the reaction to it so virulent.  I would guess because it makes it
very difficult to read the email.  Personally, I don't get upset about it.
I just delete it rather than take the time to parse out the content from
the tags.  (unless it is from one of my users.)
