Hi,
I love gnome applications. Their interface is very simple and it just work - as they say. I do use Evolution, Empathy, F-spot, Cheese, ... I have even sacrified Firefox for Epiphany as it does anything I need. Yes it crashes but it recovers. Anyway I love those apps because they fit well in my gnome desktop and because they work also with the gnome-global-menu.
The only problem now is the gnome office. Even the name here doesn't fit as there is no suite just some programs gathered to form what we call gnome-office and from all these apps, there is no presentation program!!!!
The question now is how the Gnome project is going to make the big move to gnome 3 without having an office suite, one that normal users can rely on.
At the time I use IBM Lotus Symphony just because it works with the Global Menu. Unfortunately it takes all my 512 MIB Laptop resources.
