Yes, LibreOffice! Hands down. Bundle Thunderbird with LibreOffice from here on out. Such an obvious match -- there should be no debate at all. What do git and QEMU have to do with Thunderbird? A whole lot of nothing.

Thunderbird is GO: Mozilla prepares to jettison mail client
Firefox, is that you? Version 29 looks rather like a certain shiny rival

I mourn the change to a Chrome-like interface. Browser developers have forgotten what makes a desktop great--generous screen resolution.
With a desktop's high resolution screen, developers have the ability to offer a lot of icons and menus that make the browser's options and tools readily accessible with no need to memorize or learn any series of mouse gyrations. With a menu, I can do anything. With Chrome, I can do nothing.
Chrome is a step backwards in time to a primitive browser with limited options. Where is the history icon in Chrome? Where is the home icon? Where is the download icon? Where is the back icon? Where is the forward icon? Where is the search box? Where is the menu? To say that things are unnecessary is to pretend we live in a different world, or that my screen resolution is the size of my hand. My screen resolution is 1920 x 1080, and I want to use it. Which browser will let me use it on Linux besides the old version of Firefox?
I wish that Opera would support Linux again with their latest versions. I'd be willing to give Opera a try!
