I'd love for Chromium to be included by default and for that Amazon app to be removed. I have no idea what the Amazon thing even is but it's just Windows 10-esque spamware to me. As for IDE, it'd be really cool to have Arduino included, but some might consider that spamware ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Web Browser: Firefox Email Client: Evolution Terminal: Gnome Terminal IDE: No IDE by default. Most users aren't developers File manager: Files/Nautilus Basic Text Editor: Atom IRC/Messaging Client: Nothing, let user install their own. PDF Reader: Evince Office Suite: I don't really like it, but LibreOffice is probably the best option right now. Personally, I'd almost prefer an option to just have LaTeX and TeXStudio…
If I may make a suggestion: I'd rather have a quizz at first install and user account creation that would ask what users want with sane defaults hiding behind an `I don't know` checkbox (ie: don't configure any mail client if people just use GMail). It would definitely ease the adoption from first users instead of throwing a huge pile of shortcuts to their face when they click the apps menu for the first time. I woul…

I don't know about Gnome - but KDE has both a desktop calendar/organizer app (Korganizer) and a (unrelated) Plasma widget for the toolbar - the gorgeous Event Calendar Plasma widget, which shows your Google Calendar events.
Yeah, and the experiment went horrible wrong :(
The last thing the community wanted was a plain Gnome 3 shell for 17.10.
The older Unity was great, the latest Unity and Gnome3 are crap! (ugly as hell (macOS UI clone for the cheap), and worse usability than older Unity and macOS) So you single handled destroyed the default Ubuntu with some weird decisions. And this systemd trainwreck is still on board.
For applications:

* Email client: Gnome Evolution
* File manager: Unity 7 file manager
* Basic Text Editor: GEdit (older version with menu bar, from Ubuntu 14)
* Office Suite: LibreOffice or Callibri
* Calendar: Evolution

Basic text editor: gedit. Search has been a lot less usable since it moved to the top right bar. Keyboard sequences like control-f + part of a word + escape do strange things like sending you back to where you started. I'd like to be able to pilot to different parts of the code using control-f, down/enter/tab, up/shift-tab, and escape.
Also searching a huge file hangs because it stops to highlight every instance of the first character before processing the second. It should never be faster to open a terminal, find the file, and run grep. Also the entire app hangs to do syntax highlighting on giant xml files.
