Just one week ago I read the same statement about listserv. ;-) Somehow 
exactly those issues I consider to be painful about listserv (e.g. lack 
of internationalization) are considered to be advantages by it's fans 
(easy templating and customization because there are no worries about i18n).

I'm still trying to get a good overview about current 
mailinglist-software and I'm very surprised that there are so many 
features that seem to be unique to sympa.

In my eyes dynamic mailinglists is currently the most important feature 
that I hardly found with other systems. Fine-grained control about who 
may control which list-configuration-options comes second. S/MIME would 
not have been on my requirements-list, since I could not imagined such a 
feature, but having seen it I would not want to miss it. ;-)

And that's just the three most important features unique to sympa. Other 
features like i18n/l10n are at the top of my requirements, but are 
offered by a few other mailinglists-systems, too.
