SharePoint does a LOT more without custom code or plug-ins, including no-code workflows, record managment, web publishing, content managment, creation/deletion of team/meeting/workgroup/collaboration websites by ordinary IWs (IT pro involvement not required), creation of whole new types of websites without any coding or IT involvement, hosting of dozens of built-in web services (SOAP and REST), no-code localization of content and data, decentralized administration of websites (no IT Pro involvement required), data change alerts by e-mail or text message, integration with the most popular desktop business suite (Word, Excel, Outlook ... ), access from any web browser on any OS, access from any phone with a browser on any OS, offline access from SharePoint Workspaces (formerly Office Groove), built-in user authentication/authorization. There are hundreds of thousands of SharePoint sites without a speck of custom code or plug-ins and many of those businesses build virtually all of their activities around, and with, SharePoint.
