If I could point out something good that came out of the article, it's that it is getting Notes/Domino people talking about how important UI is in designing an application. Everyone here is spot on...it's not the technology that really matters...it's how you implement it to create a really compelling user experience.
As Domino developers, it seems we are always trying to justify why the product is not irrelevant. The best way we can do that is to demonstrate sites that focus on helping the user get things done rather than what wizbang, hyped up technology we can use. Yes, "Web 2.0" technologies are awesome tools for our toolbox, but we must use them in the appropriate way and that means we must place a renewed focus on UI design!
