I think the Outlook Connector and planned iSync adapter provide the tools neccessary for 80-95% of desktop deployments (assuming most users run Outlook or Mail/iCal). Thunderbird does a poor job of synchronising to anything (just try syncing a PDA with Thunderbird/Sunbird) which makes it very difficult to blame Zimbra for not being able to deploy within the network.
It does look like things are beginning to move forward in the Mozilla camp regarding these issues but until the clients move beyond 0.1 releases you cannot blame Zimbra or any other server software for not being able to integrate with Thunderbird:
