It seems to me that a GNU distribution should include and give
preference to GNU software whenever possible. That would include
Evolution for example, which is part of GNOME, which is part of
GNU and also Icecat, which is another GNU package. That doesn't
mean non-GNU things can't be available but it seems wrong for the
GNU Operating System to not be using its own components by
default.
You're quite right.
