I just fiinished reviewing product manager Mark Jourdain's "Application Development using IBM Lotus Domino Designer® 7" presentation. While there are a number of slides on NSFDB2 and on Web Services, which aren't exactly insignificant features, there are also another dozen slides about new methods/properties, new @functions/@commands, and stuff like that.
To say "There is virtually nothing in 7.0 that will really improve how I work" is incredibly disappointing and, in my opinion, quite a narrow view. If you just look at Autosave, or the Lotusscript debugger, or view indexing in background, or any of dozens of other new things in this release, pretty much every audeince benefits from it.
This release was in beta for over a year. I'm not sure why the feature-set as shipped seems to be such a surprise to those in this thread. I don't recall seeing many of these names in the beta forum, providing feedback on the new features and ideas for future enhancements. I think Richard's point is, those who have provided such input do actually get back what they give, and sometimes more. I look forward to working with all of you on "Hannover" and beyond.
