I have too -- I moved from mutt (many years) to Wanderlust and am quite happy
with it. I've been trying gnus as well, but I never succeeded in setting it up
to my satisfaction.
I've written a bit about it:

But WL and Gnus are very powerful -- but if you only use .1% of the
capabilities, it might be overkill... Although even then, the integration with
the rest of my workflow is nice.
mutt is a find program, but the scripting is no match for what emacs-based
clients can do.
Best wishes,
Dirk.
