Domino is special. It is just so flexible and powerful. There is so many ways of building an applications unlike other platforms where there is a defined way of doing things. It is good and bad, but it gives developers like yourself the power to do it the way you think is best for yourself and your user. XPages is hip right now. I wish they fix the bugs first. The interesting news from AusLUG was that IBM was developing a Web container for the basic client to run the classic Web application and life for the classic way or my hybrid approach will be around for a long long time. The classic Web development approach has its disadvantages but it also has its advantages over XPages. I think the more important question is whether us as a developer community can create solutions that drives Domino as the premium Web application server regardless on what method is used. I believe so.
