I can understand why programmers mainly start projects with tools they use themselves - I just made my own comic-website instead of trying to figure out how to install some of the alternatives already available. And I can undrestand why they try to improve and expand the functionality. But for a big system like Libre-office I think that just concentrating on the core task is the best

I use KMail and has done so for more than fifteen years - and I suppose that most people already has a client they like. It would be better if the open-source community could get on with some of the more important and yet unrealised projects like a working Voip, better tools for artists sic! the downfall of Facebook and Windows Office, the annihilation of Google and the slaughter of Apple... and... things like that!
