Hi Ankur,
I don't think Evolution is going away. I don't even think they compete
with Geary. It's a feature-rich groupware client for enterprise
deployment, not an email client for an average user even though it can
serve that quite well, too.
I think that the plan of GNOME is to bring simple apps to cover all
the
common tasks and yes, they will probably cover most of what Evo
covers,
but I suppose Evo will stay around for those who need more out of
email,
calendar,...
Yeah. Eventually, I'd expect even the various simple standalone apps to
integrate with each other in some way - for example "Create event" in
Geary to create an entry in the new California calendar app - it's
really useful. I understand that the different applications will benefit
average users that may only use a subset of the features that evolution
provides.
I can imagine that Geary will replace Evo as the default email
client
in
Fedora. But I'm testing Geary quite regularly and don't think it
should
be in a shorter time frame than 1 year from now.
Same here. I just tested Geary out, and I went straight back to Evo. I
was just worried because I've been regularly filing bugs against Evo and
was looking forward to the new fixes - the talk of replacing it caught
me a little by surprise. :)
