Hi Milan,

I will continue using Evolution, since no replacement for Evolution is
to my taste.

However, if I can replace apps associated with the Gnome foundation I
will do this. The latest step in the wrong direction, migration to a
gamification forum with an announcement four light years away and
another one 11 days before the final curtain falls, isn't the only
reason, but it is the straw to break the camel's back.

You might have noticed that some developers started a migration from Gtk
to Qt already a long time ago. Probably all of them had a reason to
chose Gtk in the first place and they most likely dislike to migrate to
Qt, but it is what it is.

Btw. for good reasons I'm not using a desktop environment. I'm using a
window manager and portions from different desktop environments. I
dislike to replace one portion by another portion, but it's less
radical, than being bound to a desktop environment (the same applies to
operating systems or apps). I'm quite flexible, not radical. Sometimes
I've got the impression that staying with operating systems,
environments, apps tends to be similar to fundamentalism. This approach
seems to me way more radical than my approach is.

Regards,
Ralf
