Xpages actually did float my boat when I saw them demo'd at Lotusphere. However, like you, taking the time to learn them is near impossible. I even started on Dec's tutorial and puttered out after a few days. Like most developers, work time is spent on work and learning this stuff has to be in my "spare" time. Yeah, right!
I've got my workhorse workstation on Notes 8.0.2. My laptop on notes 8.5 and a second workstation at work on 8.5. I've tried to give myself the goal of at least getting through Dec's blog on Xpages before 8.5.1 comes out, so I can be ready.
