@Sebastien: I partly agree with you, I've never experienced serious bugs with Evolution and it quickly became my favorite PIM.

And this is where I party agree with you, Evolution has become my desktop-app of choice, I use it extensively. In the version of Evo used in Intrepid, everything worked flawlessly with google (gmail, calendar) and for me and a lot of private persons out there using Ubuntu and Evolution, it has been the best GTD solution out there.

Now there is a strange problem with Gmail/IMAP (a strange unknown folder appears), the Google Calendar isn't supported anymore and when you add your private url to a web-calendar the password isn't remembered. So Evolution has gone from my favourite app to something I'm thinking of not using. Gnome integration is great, but if the calendar doesn't work, well then the integration isn't that useful. So no, it's not a really big deal, lots of people don't use google. But I think there's a really large chunk of Ubuntu nerds (and I use the term proudly) that like GSOC and the integration it has brought us.
