My opinion is that i feel it would be beneficial if instead being as
drastic as completely remove evolution from Ubuntu. Just to take it
out of the ubuntu-desktop meta-package. So we can safely remove it
ourselves to use something else.

Evolution is not to everyones taste, 
I personally use sylpheed its light and does the job well. Also it can
handle my gmail account (i get in excess of 100 mails per day).

I think the newer users would prefer the familurality of evolution to
say coming from outlook to having to use mutt, which is pretty scary
really, I done that myself when i got into linux (in the 90's).
