How is it controlled? It's GPL. Same as OpenOffice it's
developed^H^H^H^Hcontrolled by Sun?

it also brings lower usability for linux users. Look at MS tools, all
integrated. GNOME / KDE it's the same, e.g. can save browser passwords
in gnome keyring, together with other passwords. OOo it's getting better
(gtk, native file-open dialog...). Evolution calendar it's integrated
with gnome clock applet, and so on. Little things which together make a
great desktop.
