shouldn't evolution drop some features?

[David Prieto <frandavid100 gmail com>]

I'm no linux guru, but there is supposed to be a UNIX motto that says:
do one thing and do it right. Most gnome apps follow this philosophy,
AFAIK, but evolution does lots of different things. It handles mail,
contacts, calendars, tasks and even notes.

There are several projects out there like contacts
http://projects.o-hand.com/contacts and dates
http://projects.o-hand.com/dates that could handle some of the features
evo manages right now. They rely on evolution-data-server, so only the
GUI part would be affected. As for notes, I can't see why we can't use
tomboy which is now officially a part of gnome.

I might be asking something really dumb, but is there a good reason why
evolution shouldn't handle e-mails and nothing else?
