Yes! There are seemingly hundreds of reasons why Domino frustrates the hell out of us! But what about the things that it does that we love? True replication and true server clustering are two features worth their weight in gold! Not to mention that Domino servers and applications are pretty easy to get up and running, and keep maintained! And that's no joke! Does Microsoft do that? Hell, no! Ever try to get Exchange 2K going? - get your team of 10 people together before you try it!
My point is that for building small and medium sized applications for businesses, I don't think that Domino can be beat. We are able to create some pretty useful applications. And if you work for an 'international-type' company, to be able to create an application for 1500 users in a month or two is of great benefit. Problems with Domino spewing invalid html, a hot topic on this website and others, or the hundreds of other broken things are worth shouting out about, but I don't see that the problems out weigh the benifits (yet!).
