why N/D: for me it's the (supposed) fast way to make tool for people, make this people works together, with built-in infrastructured functionality (web server, search, mail, c&s, ...) in a managed platform (security, ACL, scheduler, ...). It's supposed because the problem has many faces, the tool (N/D) help to 60-80% of this faces, but my hands + mind help for remaining 20% (maybe this like other site help me a lot).
IS this what I want now?
If I want a web development tool: out of there exists a lot of tools, N/D help for prototyping, is not a great web tool for itself.
NB: A LOT - because none of these is complete for all us, a tool is good for this, a tool for that... -
now I work for IT of a insurance company: why N/D for this company? if it is functional for my work, it it is cost-effective. Is sharepoint a better solution? maybe yes, maybe not, don't know yet. Wiki is better? Ruby on rails? Websphere stuff? Documentum? set the problem, then set the tool.
We work with one of this tool: use it for what is working well (RAD-prototyping, fat/web client); is for that we love N/D, is for that we hate it (is better in this, is worse for that).
to IBM - their people are making a good effort to have sinergy from websphere stuff and lotus stuff - the people here make the dream works: make message (and tool) for all us clear and usable.
btw: to have domino web server 'talk' in xhtml, is maybe a first one thing
my 5 cents (and my poor english)
