I think the Lotus Notes as a GUI platform is so horrid that it couldn't possibly be good at anything: * It comes with a program "Zap Notes" which is supposed to kill it when it hangs (Wat?). A bit funny since "Zap Notes" doesn't even work for me, and I have to use a combination of greps and kills. * The UI rendering is slow and visible. These guys haven't heard of double buffering. You see little GUI components being rendered slowly. This is extremely annoying and sluggish. * Every little UI operation you do in this program can take seconds on relatively modern hardware. During these seconds, the UI is of course completely blocked. * When someone at your corporate IT wants to move a Notes mail server or such -- they actually have to coordinate a reconfiguration of all the users' mail server addresses! You have to go dig in a huge, badly designed preferences dialog to make this change. This is nuts. The list goes on and on, but I can't fathom anyone liking this software.
