Personally, I prefer the 90s UX over the stuff we see these days.

The modernization of the FF UI, combined with the reduction in the ability to customize it enough to make it the way I want, is one of the reasons I stopped using Firefox (not the main reason, though!)

Whatever TB does, I hope they at least allow people the ability to modify the UI enough to make both of us happy!

Seriously, can I just have frames back instead of the "our whole site is one HUGE page" trend.

It’s hell adding recurring events in Thunderbird that only happen at non-standard intervals.

I work a rotating six week schedule with different workdays week to week. In iCal/Apple Calendar, I can intuitively copy/paste events to a different day of the week if the rotation changes. Thunderbird, with its 90s UI, doesn’t provide you with this option.

I’ve found refuge in eM Client on Windows, but it took a while before I came across the app.

Well comparing Apple Calendar with Thunderbird is not really fair. One is dedicated calendar app the other is email app.

I use thunderbird for email and calendar for calendar. When i compared Apple Mail with Thunderbird i found quirks small tech issues with Apple Mail especially when using something else than gmail.
