Playing devil's advocate here for a moment, if you really want to go
head to head with MS Office, sooner or later you're going to have to
face the behemoth known as Outlook. Without it, it will be Microsoft
Office vs. OpenOffice + some random e-mail client. Get the drift in
terms of unified products.
Ha!
Open-source products don't compete in the same way as commercial
products. The OpenOffice developers, for example, don't care whether you
use Thunderbird, Evolution, webmail, or whatever, as long as you have a
decent list of alternatives. There is no incentive ( a dis-incentive, in
fact ) to continually reinvent the wheel. If there are good open-source
email clients around, why should more developer time ( which is sorely
lacking, by the way ) be wasted on YetAnotherEmailClient?
