I think Lotus Notes must be one of the most controversial pieces of software ever released. One of my first jobs was developing a document and project management workflow system using Lotus Notes 4 and Domino and found it not only quite quick and easy to use, but looking back I have to say Notes was way ahead of its time with a lot of what it offered. Yet every time I mention Notes among IT people, most of them who have used it respond with visceral hatred.
- gadders 2y agoI started my career as a Lotus Notes developer so have a soft spot for it, even v3. When I started with with Notes it was pre-internet as well so having a system in London and New York that could replicate only updates over a not-very high bandwidth link to the US was amazing. But I've recently had to create document storage and approval sites with a simple workflow and it's horrible in SharePoint.
