I could give you a long list of reasons why I think WLM is better than
WM, but the best way to find out is to try it yourself. There is no
downside to trying it. If you don't like it, merely uninstall WLM,
and WM is back as before. You can even run both email programs
side-by-side, as I have been doing for the past 11 months.
