Yeah. Eventually, I'd expect even the various simple standalone apps to
integrate with each other in some way - for example "Create event" in
Geary to create an entry in the new California calendar app - it's
really useful. I understand that the different applications will benefit
average users that may only use a subset of the features that evolution
provides.

Same here. I just tested Geary out, and I went straight back to Evo. I
was just worried because I've been regularly filing bugs against Evo and
was looking forward to the new fixes - the talk of replacing it caught
me a little by surprise. :)
