I'm beginning to wonder how many people actually use a mail program instead of a webmail interface these days.

Outside of mailing lists such as this one, probably not that many, and those are dominated by the corporate use of Outlook, which is why Evolution supports connections to Exchange (I think Thunderbird does as well). I use the Gmail web interface for a lot of things myself, but I keep Evo for good list handling and sane management of quoting in replies among other things.
I've yet to come across a webmail interface that doesn't suck. I'm not impressed by Gmail's cluttered system, it's worse than what I remember of Hotmail a quarter of a century ago.
Years ago there used to be a feature under Gmail Labs where you could get sensible quoting and avoid top-posting. It worked for me, but has since been removed.
It was a ridiculous palaver just to find a way to send a new email to a person without it being a reply, for instance.
Clicking on the address works.
