The Gnus MIME support still leaves a bit to be desired from what I've
seen and heard.  That said, if larsi has released his (Pterodactyl?) 
Gnus with the native MIME support, it's at least the equal of VM's
MIME overall; they have different advantages for MIME.

In general, VM is easier to use, Gnus you learn more powerful features
more quickly.  And the nnimap backend (for IMAP) is very nice from
what I hear.

The two reasons I recommend VM more strongly than Gnus is (1) I use it
daily and can give some support (not to be sneezed at, ne?) and (2)
Kyle Jones is a stiff-necked intolerant standards weenie (and a Net
God in his own right, shared a desk with tale@example.com).
