Let's reconsider some more applications installed by default

[Christian Schaller]

Well it is important to note that these usability studies where done by the
GNOME community itself through the Outreachy program, with the explicit goal
of being able to optimize the UI design.

And from what I can tell having lurked in #gnome-design on Gimpnet they
discuss the design decisions all the time, and continually try to refine 
the user interface.

That said I am all in favour of people getting involved and pushing new designs
and code on behalf of Fedora, but I don't think we are at a place where we can
seriously considering doing a major fork of anything here.
