Reminds me of the discussions we had about comparing Bueto with SyncEvolution. SyncEvolution always had a strong focus on actually making syncing work (and yes, that gets ugly sometimes), while Buteo was a "cleanly designed" framework which avoided doing any of the hard work and delegated that to "plugins". In other words, it didn't actually solve the problems. Too late to say "told you so" now, there's literally no-one left from those discussions and it wouldn't matter anyway. > I guess I have to wait, or get involved.
