Evince is much older than 2018. I remember using it on Ubuntu 10.04. Iirc, like KDE, Gnome moved its repositories to Gitlab back in 2018.

I had no doubt that it was, I guess my post was more that they have both been around for a bit doing close to the same task. So for the people pretending this is "Gnome abandoning things like they always do" I think it's kind of silly to not expect a "default" app that is more than 7+ years old to be replaced with something newer.

Especially because these are the "default" apps that I would expect to be replaced once someone learns the DE and outgrows the defaults.
