I think that Gnome would be better if they considered the opinions of users. People have been asking for Nautilus improvements for years, yet I would guess that a great amount of effort will instead be spent on the Evolution shareware.
[If I write a program, and give away half of it--yet sell half of it, does that mean I can get it included in Gnome?]
I am not against commercial applications, but why force the inclusion of a front end to a commercial product in a product that everyone must work on. Would that be fair to a competing company?
With most of the independent leadership replaced with corporate employees, Gnome development may become centered on "include my product too" product strangulation/integration.
Gnome should disintegrate all non-core application, and focus instead on creating a fair and level playing field for all applications that support Gnome. It should be left the users and distros which applications are included.
People have been asking: is Gnome getting better--or bigger.
