I had to deal with Lotus Notes back in the day. Absolutely hated it. Maybe it's better now, but i doubt it.
Lotus Notes, no, it's not any better...it breaks so often the only reason I don't write a report with solutions and how it would be better if we switched to X program instead etc is because it = Job Security.
