WinVN uses the tiled-windows approach for listing newsgroups, article lists, and individual articles, which is a definite improvement over most 16-bit newsreaders like Trumpet News' split-windows screen, but not quite as appealing as the Free Agent interface or even the News Xpress layout. WinVN has always been one of the easiest newsreaders to use, plus there's ample online help to get new users acquainted with it.
Built-in UUdecoding, full hypertext support, and mail sending abilities have been implemented well in recent releases, but the low-level killfile support could be improved with a user interface and configurable menu. Another of WinVN's strong points is its ability to sort articles in almost every imaginable manner.
