Because I don't want it, and you haven't done it.

Sure. So do it.

The thing is that most people who develop open-source software can deal
with the concept of using the right tool for the right job, and also
have no problems launching applications.

Let me give an example. I just sent an email to a friend with an
attachment that I produced in OpenOffice. I exported it to PDF, then
switched to Evolution, and attached the PDF I just created.

Now, some people will complain that I had to switch out of OpenOffice
and into Evolution to create my email. I pity those people - honestly I
do ...
