Xpages was a desperate attempt to "save" web appdev on Domino. It's been a very costly failure. No one even talks about xpages in the Notes client anymore, although it was touted as a huge selling point early on. It just didn't work.
I had occasion to show some colleagues who had never seen a Domino app before what a plain old discussion db looks like. I demoed the v7 discussion and the v8.5 xpages version. Everyone agreed that the older one had more functionality. The supposedly fantastic new UI in the xpages one? Meh.

What a waste of effort. Sad.
