It wasn't just the UI, it was the concept of the suite as a whole. Hi Chris, apparently you missed most of what was at issue with Seamonkey.

Seamonkey's notable defenders (i.e. those who actually contribute, as opposed to whining on mozillazine) are aligned behind the exact same suite-atop-toolkit concept put forth by the old m.o in the very first realignment message. The controversy surrounding seamonkey was *nothing* more than a collection of bruised egos from people lower down the list of people who understood good UI.<br /> <br /> I'll give you Firebird, the idiotic trademark policy and Thunderbird though. The first two could have been avaoided by appointing someone who had any experience whatsoever in the relevant areas in the first place, as opposed to having to bring them in months later. The last is just closed-doors ineptitude of an inexcusable level for a flagship free software company.<br /> <br /> - Chris The Seamonkey comment is bizarre.
