> > 1. Easier to download and install. Yea gods, how many times do we have to go round this. Evo *is* very easy to install, it's in virtually every distros default repository. How much easier does it have to be.
Evolution is a well behaved, integral part of Gnome 3. As such it relies on many other Gnome 3 packages to work. You can't have a single monolithic download for Evolution without taking into account all these other packages and libraries, not to mention all the auxiliary Evolution packages such as eds and evolution-ews > People here obviously find it easy to compile but most people out > there haven't got a clue and find it too scary as a prospect.

Thunderbird, Claws etc are not "competitors" of Evolution. They are purely other programs which have a similar, but differing, feature set. I think you would be much better off comparing Evolution with other Gnome 3 projects - you can find a list at https://projects.gnome.org/ - rather than trying to draw comparisons with applications that are designed to be standalone.
