It can be like this with Gnus, and I've had the
exact same experience, but it's because I have
certain ideas and because I was used from the
Emacs world to be able to get everything the
way I wanted, so that's what I expected and did
with Gnus as well.

However, I don't think it has to be that way,
if someone is happy with the way it works and
looks day one, and I don't see why that cannot
be the case, then it is a matter of putting
a bunch of data in .gnus, do M-x gnus RET, and
instigate your very first flame war.
