Everyone is talking like xpages is saving notes. Honestly, I cannot develop anything as sophisticated as I've been doing without it. Sure, I can quickly develop applications with it, but not applications I would feel comfortable presenting as my work.
My sites are designed first, focused on the user experience. Those designs do not line up with xpages capabilities, without such heavy manipulation. I might as well have done it with jQuery and traditional domino web dev.
Even if you think xpages is the bomb, I need to understand how you develop in 8.5.2? It is crazy with freeze-ups and crashes. Exclipse was a bad decision. It has always been a shitty platform. It's free and still has dismal market share. My company tried to use eclipse designer for 6 months. We just went back to 8.0.1 . Sadly, I think it will be that last version of designer I install.
My only hope is IBM will pull a db2nsf. "Starting Q3 2011, lotus will not be supporting the eclipse platform"..
