"I think lotus product is build on wrong foundation.. initially its purpose was mail and messaging and document repository"
Apart from mail having nothing to do with the original concept upon which Notes is founded, that is still the "definition" of Notes and Domino. The purpose and/or niche of the product has never changed, and does not really need to evolve beyond what Notes fundamentally IS. Domino (as a web technology) was a way to get Notes functionality onto the web. If the fundamental nature of Notes and Domino is extracted from the product in order to meet some never-promised web development aims, then you can consider the platform DEAD. Forever. A few hundred enthusiastic web developers will NEVER be a replacement for a hundred million (or so) corporate Notes client/iNotes users. (Well, unless they are VERY wealthy and can afford the new $2,500,000 per-user licenses.)
The limitations (not "faults")we need to code around are there because we are doing things with and on the platform that IBM/Lotus were not aware they were giving us the tools to do. We have a hammer, so the world is made of nails. J2EE people have a torque wrench. Let's see them drive a nail in only one day.
