I suppose that he/she's speaking of Evolution Exchange. Apparently nobody told our not-so-friendly neighborhood FUD-spreader that it is GPL and free (as in free beer) since 2004. And it was a plugin, which added a functionality to an already feature-complete software, so I really can't understand from where he/she got out the "frontend to a commercial product" crap.

Totally agree that there is no commercial aspect to Evolution.

I'm a KDE user, and even I use Evolution. Definitely the best email client available for Linux.

So if a better Gnome information manager comes along, Gnome Org will replace it? If there was such a program, do you see that as ever happening--even if the other program was better?
