Better in what ways?
Searchable.
That's good. What else?
Its not a push medium: you can take it or leave it. With the ML it is all or nothing - you have to go through the mail, wait, confirm process each time you want to go on or off a list.
While talk pages are also non-push, I think they are very ill-suited to discussions where threads are more than one or two levels deep - and unless you check the history you don't know if anyone has been edited.
