Amen Brother and Hallelujah!

Dumbing down the interface to satisfy the novice, while sacrificing
advanced functionality and flexibility for everyone else is *exactly*
what's *wrong* with Windows.  If Gnome (and by extension, Evolution)
continues to follow the same path, it won't be any more appealing than
Windows/Outlook (or KDE/Kmail for that matter).  Please, evolution
developers, don't follow this path.  It leads to darkness...

Cheers!
