Ignore the non-contructive criticism. Gnome bashing has become popular amongst the GNU/Linux community, and yet, everyone who forces themself to use it for a few weeks falls in love. Its inevitable.Cyberax, in the light of your insight, this comment under the original article really made my day. I love gnome shell. Apart from that, are they kidding? I mean, contacts still don't work with dark themes (they even have the css patch in the bugzilla, but nobody cared to apply it). Evolution UI is terrible. Empathy support for chats is ridiculously bad. GS still have a ton of bugs. But the focus of GNOME devs? Breaking Nautilus.

> Evolution UI is terrible.
Yeah, maybe (although I find it OK after using it for many, many years now).
One thing cannot be disputed though. It is the most complete (in the enterprise sense) mail client for Gnome. It supports 3 types of native Exchange connectivity (apart from the usual open protocols), it can edit LDAP contacts etc. Once it gets completely ported to WebKit (which is under way), it will also handle dreaded HTML mail much better.
I also found Red Hat folks in charge of its maintenance very responsive (as part of Fedora). As long as you give them a backtrace (and they are very helpful in telling folks how), they will fix it.
