Chris,

Nearly everyone in the ICS department at UCI uses UCI MH, including
secretaries and students, some who presumably have no prior computing
experience before being admitted. Compared, say to some vendors
Operating systems, I'd say MH is pretty well supported.  You have the
source (for free) and can install fixes, and we do put out new releases
from time to time, usually fixing some of the bugs which were
reported.  Also, there's a lot of documentation that comes with the
package, and of course, the MH mailing lists and USENET group.

Personally, I think MH is probably too complicated for "novice" users.
For example, we have students who keep every message they've every
received because they don't know the "rmm" command.  Supporting users
like these are difficult, but they probably should just be using PC's
instead of UNIX anyway.  As they say: "power tools are not toys".

For those users who know what `backquoting` is, etc., MH seems entirely
appropriate.
