Having a set of default applications that all work better in sync with our OS would mean not having to carry multiple devices and an easier process of data passing safely from one app to another.
As Gaël mentioned in the post, Elixir is still at the experimental stage.
There is no pressure on users to change to these apps if and when we formally release them. You can continue using your own apps.
Our core focus user groups remain users who are not technically very knowledgeable and would like some help to keep their data safe but do not know how.
For those who are technically excellent, read all the latest tech news, build and install ROMs or third-party apps and know their way around the innards of smartphones, there are no limitations. You can continue using your favorite third party apps in case they work seamlessly on /e/OS.
Also, from the development or planning perspective, we do not cut down our focus from other critical apps or issues when working on such projects.
