Well, to be fair Evolution and Gnumeric were both designed and written before the HIG was written. It would be difficult to follow guidlines which don't exist yet, and it's unfair to judge an application to a standard which post-dates it.

Of course, both projects are being ported to GNOME 2 (GNOME 2.2 rather) and I have every confidence that they will adapt most, if not all, of the HIG.

(Note: Yes, I work for Ximian. No, I haven't tried Evolution 1.3 yet. Why? Well, I just got it installed yesterday...)
