I wonder if there is a fork available of normal Thunderbird. I don't understand this. Why destroy a perfectly working application?

  IMO, because it’s easier to convince yourself that a rewrite will accomplish all goals faster instead of utilizing the old code.

    But there wasn't a rewrite of Thunderbird?

      The UI and rendering layer? Yes there was. It may not have been a full rewrite but they ditched the XUL ecosystem also. Do you think the complaints posted in this thread aren’t because code was rewritten?

        Yeah, the reason there are perforamnce regressions is due to a partial rewrite.
