Uh, I'm surprised. How many people actually love thunderbird? And to the extend it justified the development.

I love Thunderbird and give them money every month. Name another good open source mail client.

Are you suggesting that no development is justified? I think we can expect that for any email client, there will be demand for one of the most popular email servers, and one that is required for most corporate use.

Thunderbird is paramount to my workflow and has been for over a decade. If I did not have thunderbird I would be upset.

That said, loving a software requires a paradigm shift for me. I can't fathom loving something that is not alive. I do enjoy it, however.

Do you have a use case you'd prefer they put their resources into implementing?
