Is it any surprise that evolution is so buggy or difficult to write, when the authors idea of a fix is to blame the tools rather than the design. "Fixing C" is just introducing more problems, i.e. bloat, patent issues, dividing the community, etc, etc. And all for what, because they didn't want to change evolution's design.

You're saying they wrote Mono because they didn't want to refactor Evolution??

hoooookay, if that's what you want to believe...
