great and well-known and might facilitate the transition of users
from other systems. Claws configuration, for example, is not as
straightforward as Thunderbird's.
Imho, they're the best browser/mail client around. Also, by now, they
are part of the Xubuntu's look and feel.
Errm, "much more tested" maybe by you, I personally haven't used
Thunderbird for a few years now so I couldn't even say how stable it is
:)
And about the look-and-feel and integration: I assume you have never
tried to theme either of those two. It's surely getting better, but
those two programmes always needed a few workarounds to make them work
in most themes (because they're not gtk - as opposed to Claws, not
Chromium).
Well, what I meant with "more tested" is that Thunderbird is certainly
more widespread than Claws and has a much wider and more consistent user
base.
I've used Claws for a while and it's a good email client. Just not as
goos as Thunderbird, imho.
With regards to the "theming issue", as far as I'm concerned, I've grown
bored with theming, so if they work nicely with Xubuntu's default theme
(and they do), I'm more than happy.
- LightDM instead of GDM would be great, let's get rid of these GNOME
dependencies (provided this piece of software is stable).
Please follow up on the separate thread Charlie started on that one.
- GIMP: I see the point in removing it, though I don't completely
agree. I wouldn't replace it with something else though, like a photo
organizer. GIMP can be installed after installation, similarly to
what I do with Openoffice and Inkscape.
Replacing Gimp with Shotwell also sounds odd to me (I agree with Phil
and rent0n on that one), though I could live without it in a default
install.
- Vinagre (Remote Desktop Viewer): has someone actually ever used it?
Should we really keep it?
Never used it and I'm really wondering why this functionality has to be
provided by default, but I'm happy to hear it.
Cheers,
Simon
