Rebol.org is huge improvement over what we had before.
Personally I prefer both approaches, depending what kind of
research/reading/browsing I am doing.
Trees like GMane have the distinct advantage that one can more easily scan
the flow of discussion.
Plus one can use all sorts of neat nntp tools techniques if you want.
But I agree there are times when Rebol.org approach is nicer to read and
involves less clicking.
Gmane is very fast. Adding Rebol to it would simply increase the tool set
available to rebolers and hopefully make it easier for newcomers to
investigate.
More seriously imho AltMe needs to be improved by adding threading search
and smarter options for navigation.
