What do you find so wrong with it?

One of the groups that I follow, Beta just abitrarily dropped about
13,000 posts and decided that there were only 2 posts in 10+ years of
the group's exsistance. Three days later it suddenly found the posts it
dropped and then the next day lost them again....

Although, I'm sure this is not the reason for Mr. McNicoll's
abhorrence of Google Group's Beta user interface, Google Groups is an
open spam gateway to Usenet evidenced by the recent blizzard of spam
posted by 'Amos'.

The 'improved' Beta UI automatically trims included text from the
articles it presents, rewraps formatted text poorly, destroys proper
threading, and is generally inferior to the prior Google interface,
let alone the useful DajaNews interface.
