"In a few cases, Foresight opts for popular applications over
ones designed specifically for GNOME. Firefox, for instance, is
included rather than Epiphany, GNOME's default browser. Otherwise,
the distribution heavily favors GNOME applications, including ones
written in Mono, such as Banshee and Tomboy. In fact, the
preference is so strong that GNOME apps are included even when, as
with Pidgin, F-Spot, and Glipper, they are either not the most
popular software in their category or else relatively unknown. By
contrast, although the latest minor upgrade was released only a
couple of weeks ago, Foresight's repositories still retain KDE
3.59, rather than the latest 4.1 version."
