I've seen some but not that many. But I've yet to find one that didn't
export/import via comma separated or tab delimited text files (of course
importing such files is usually difficult to say the least).

But back to vCards, my beloved Mozilla Thunderbird doesn't export vcard
files, just comma separated, tab delimited text, LDIF.
