As a pine user since ages, I moved to alpine (1.0 + Eduardo Chappa's 
patches) at the beginning of this year and noticed no drawbacks, some 
useful new features and a definite speed improvement in some cases.

And the transition does not need to be abrupt and irreversible. I built 
alpine offline from /usr/bin or /usr/local, somewhere under my home, and 
simply aliases the invocation of pine to alpine in my mail wrapper script.

I can revert to pine at any time just commenting out that line, or 
invoking it directly.
