The preferences screen is very difficult to use - it's a mix of labels and buttons with no indication that things are adjustable. You can adjust the brightness by hovering over the brightness amount and scrolling vertically. There are multiple preference panes, but they're only findable with horizontal scrolling. None of this is easily discoverable.

I use the software... but pretty much only the shortcut keys (^F2, ^F1). The other features which seem like they could be useful, would probably see a lot higher adoption if the application followed some UX best practices.

I've used Mailplane for years - http://mailplaneapp.com

Yes, it is "just" a wrapper, but it's nice having Mail and Calendar in a separate dedicated app. I can restart my browser without impacting my mail, and the integration with the desktop (e.g. mailto: links just work, I can use quicklook on attachments, better drag and drop support, etc.) make it worthwhile.

Any word on whether it will have support for wifi behind captive portal? I've got a Chromecast v1 that I was excited to bring it on trips with me to watch Netflix from the hotel room, but I could never get it to connect to hotel networks which always have the stupid captive portal authentication scheme.

I've been on the internet long enough to remember that Tucows originally stood for "The Ultimate Collection of Windows Software"
