I had an interesting conversation with one of the Lotus directors a few months ago -- he truly believes that Notes is better than Gmail from a user experience perspective. If IBM's offering is anything like the internal iNotes they piloted, I feel bad for any company that makes the switch. iNotes was a perfect opportunity to redo the Notes UI and catch up with the rest of the world with respect to email usability. Instead, they just wrapped the crufty old Notes into a shiny web container.
