I think that you over-generalize. I find it quite useful. I'm sure
that there are many other people that find it useful. Sure it has a few
warts, but name me a piece of software that doesn't.

I disagree.

That's the beauty of open source, if you don't like it, use something
else.

Right now Evo has no competition for the functions that it offers. The
problem with the open source world (and the free world in general) is
that it's possible for a few narcissistic trolls to ruin functionality
for the user population at large. Sometimes it's by stupidity,
sometimes it's by design. There is a sizable group out there that
doesn't want an Outlook competitor in the Linux world, cause it eats too
much M$ lunch.
