Maybe too little, surely too late. I'me more or less done migrating away from Thunderbird, which I have used for more than a decade.
Thunderbird has been getting steadily worse for some time now but the last few releases made me seriously reconsider. Notable problems are the massive memory leaks and god only knows what it is doing instead of responding to the user.
I've deleted ~/.thunderbird and recreated all my accounts en the problems immediately reappeared. It has become completely unusable at this point.
Leave it running for a day and what started with 300-400Mb of resident memory is now a 1.5Gb process and when you are using it the UI is stalling with one core pegged at a 100% for dozens of seconds at a time while consuming multiple gigabytes of memory. If it is not stalling it is as slow as molasses.
Switch Thunderbird into off-line mode before starting to set up a new account, the auto-configure has to be designed to dissuade people from using Thunderbird, I cannot think of any other reason why it would be so excruciatingly unusable in an otherwise decent mail client.
As a kid I never got the hang of it, writing cursive. I found it much easier, and thus faster, to write 'print' letters.
Reading cursive, even when neatly written take great effort, sloppy written cursive could as well be Elvish and is completely unreadable.
Some notes of letters I get I can't even recognise enough of it as letters or words to even understand what the subject is and then my wife pick's up, and she starts to make fun of me and starts reading it without effort.
Yes, I'm from Europe and have friends and family across most of Europe and I would guestimate the percentage of smartphone who have WhatsApp installed at roughly 98% give or take a percent or two.
Oh, and most phone 'plans' over here do include unlimited sms, I think mostly because nobody uses sms anymore, everybody uses WhatsApp.
I didn't know gedit supported plugins. I've used gedit like I think most people use it. To quickly jolt down something or as a cut and paste buffer.
But now I know there are plugins. So I searched for them. And there are a few, I found less than a dozen, so I don't really understand why not being able to keep the api would be such a big problem.
I don't even understand why a barebones editor, like gedit, would even need a plugin system. It's like it is every project whet dream to have other programmers use their api so everything has to have an api. Even when it makes no sense at all.
There has been a 'Windows Subsystem for Linux' for years now, and we call it Wine (www.winehq.org)
What Microsoft is providing is a Linux compatibility subsystem for Windows. Something Cygwin has been doing for decades, granted the Microsoft solution seems to be more polished.
You can get a very decent, usable Android smart phone for less than $100. So, either the article grossly misrepresents the facts, or brands like Motorola, LG, HTC really, for some inexplicable reason, cannot make a profit on a $500+ phone.
Chrome TV plugin asinine defaults to allow remote without password. Add to that plugin installs are synced you could have TV installed on a pc without realising it. Defaulting to *allow* remote access.
I really wish sometimes that error messages would add a line: "If you are calling for tech support, please write down this code ERR##### and give it to the technician." I know many would still ignore it but
That's why you should log the error, I've maintained an application for years and about 98% of the end-users never advanced past the colour of the error dialog when reporting the error, If they even bothered to report the error, because most did not.
This already happened several times. At least the pdf viewer reset to edge happened at least half a dozen times since windows 10 release. It has surprised me greatly Adobe is not being more vocal about this.

Thunderbird is a passable imap4 client, all mail should be on the server. For a reinstall only the credentials should be needed.
The article is just fluff we all already knew. Show me a link to the actual ads.

Aligns perfectly with my opinion about it btw.
And this is EXACTLY why there shouldn't be LTS kernels.
Hardware manufacturers should get with the program, work hard and get their driver included in mainline.
All problems solved.
Well, that is odd.

A top 10 installed app list and WhatsApp is not on there, I call it BS

Please let the next move be to take the fantasy out of the SciFi section and give it its own section so I can avoid it.
Please

Bluetooth LE is broken, taking a photo in portrait is broken, I mean WTF
Some 3rd party Android nightlies where messy, but this easily beats everything so far. At least they were frequent and easily revertible if needed.
Trying to load the factory images is broken as well if you did not already unlock your bootloader, because unlocking you bootloader is broken as well.
Really Google... WTF

Well the article was published on April 1st, that's more or less the one sensible explanation.
Not me, I'm so lonely I need a talking toaster giving me suggestion what to eat...

No we don't.
Probably Yoda's daughter she is.
Nobody can be that stupid... or can they?
You need to update _only_ once a year. They support the current and previous version.
Not specific to Ubuntu, doesn't work with Fedora 21 either. Tried both Chrome and Firefox
"Audio and video calls are not supported on your OS".
Desktop version does work, but not group video calls...
