I'm glad to see your post - I've been away from Domino development for the past 3-4 years, but I still follow your blog.
After switching from 16 years on the Domino platform to Salesforce, I'm amazed at the similarities. You can build custom applications on the Salesforce platform (Force.com), and they tend to have the same sweet spot as Notes applications - departmental workflow-type applications that are incredibly quick to build and deploy - we've got one client who's a medioal practice that uses Force.com for their applications, but doesn't use CRM at all. You should definitely give Salesforce a look as well.
