Agree with you. People all have their own favorite applications. For me I installed Google Chrome and removed chromium. I use emesene for MSN and Skype for VoIP. I use Pidgin for IRC only. I use geany for text editor and I'm not using Leafpad at all. After installing Lubuntu, the first thing I do is removing Abiword and installing LibreOffice. But we are talking about "default applications". If you like something, just apt-get it, and there is no need to make it installed by default. The default for a distro should be sensible and less confusing for general users. If we like, there can be a meta-package named "lubuntu-power-user-desktop", then you can even have eclipse as default editor + gimp as default image program if you want. lol
