The Ubuntu one is interesting. They list Gnomebaker, but usually the cd/dvd burning software of choice is K3B. It’s considered the best of them (though I do use Gnomebaker simply because it looks nicer being GTK like the rest of my desktop).
GnuCash is usually recommended over KMyMoney as well, I believe. I tried using GnuCash once, but I’ve never used a personal money thing (or balanced my checkbook for that matter), so I was a bit lost on what all the stuff is and consider it unnecessary (though I guess for people with more complicated finances than “I put this much in, took that much out, and now I have this much” it’d be useful).
The “deskbar” applet is a second frontend for Beagle, and that’s included by default (just right click the panel and “add to panel”).
Additionally, the version of the GIMP that’s in Feisty is 2.2.13. 2.2.14 would require getting it from gimp.org and building it.
Finally, comparing Scribes and Tomboy makes no sense whatsoever. Tomboy is for taking notes and linking them wiki-style, such as for note-taking in class. Scribes is a full text editor. What it should be compared to, and what it really would replace, is Gedit.
