I don't understand these new gnome apps. Are they to replace existing apps from third parties?
Music Player = I love Exaile. Haven't found anything better and I've tried every music player I can find.
Video Player = Totem is useless software IMHO. I have nothing but problems with it. So I use VLC.
I don't use chat or empathy.
Is the gnome apps then to replace my use of VLC & Exaile?

Maybe. But not for an LTS.

The question is shouldn't Ubuntu move as fast as possible to the
latest gnome version so that they can implement most of these
thinks in 12.04.
1) Music player:
- banshee needs mono, is slow and still is a gtk2 app
- rhythmbox looks ugly
--> help Gnome implement the music mock up and you
have it
2) Chat: the current look of empathy isn't really good
3) Videos: currently we have a video player and banshee: banshee
has a library, video player not but banshee will be removed
4) network senntigs look a lot better in gs than in unity (here
you have just to change the option in the connection indicator)
5) notifications: i really like the integration of empathy in GS
you don't need to open a window just type something...
and: Online accounts is nearly useless in unity and their is no
calendar (although I prefer Thunderbird we need a calendar)
But a think most important is: the farer we got from gnome the
bigger the differences and the harder for gnome, canoncial and app
developers to handle different shells
