I don't think this is necessarily true.  I find that new users use web
forums but experienced users and developers do not.  In every project
I've been involved with, mailing lists have been the preferred way of
interacting.  There are user lists and developer lists and the
separation usually remains pretty good.

That said, I personally don't like the newsgroups but maybe others
aren't endowed with good server-side mail filtering and great
client-side tooling for dealing with lots of mail like I get with mutt.
