As many people here are saying, Notes was at its core a remarkable achievement for its time. One thing that kept it from more widespread adoption as an application platform, I believe, was the lack of any synchronization or atomicity model. The open "multimaster" replication model was ahead of its time in allowing offline updates, but every application had to reinvent any needed reconciliation logic more or less from scratch, and with few helpful tools. If Notes could have done more to solve that problem, I think people would have flocked to it as a distributed application platform.
