Developer Perspective: Newsgroups or forums?

Yesterday I was talking with Betsy and
Tina about Newsgroups vs. Forums, and whether developers prefer one over the other.
For me, it's kind of a mixed bag. In general, I like the rich client experience
that I see in forums, but I also like the ability to search across newsgroups with Google
Groups
. But then again I'm not a developer (and I've never even played one on
TV, although I did work in the computer center in college, where my claim to fame
was deleting everything in [1,2] ;-) So I'd love to hear what *you*
think
-- do you have a preference, and if so, why? Blog it and let me know
in the comments, or send me email at lauraj at microsoft.com.
