It's not a concern about the product itself. It's all about the demand. If there was a demand for me (Rockall) to deliver XPage apps then I'd "happily" go about learning XPages. Yeah, sure, I'd whine and pick fault all the way, but you'd expect that of me, right? Right now though I'm not seeing any demand for Domino work at all. What little I do with Domino is supporting and sometimes extending existing customers' apps.
It's possibly a catch 22 situation. I've been known in the past as a Domino hacker who could bend it to get the best out of it and that has made both this site popular and me quite busy workwise. Now though it seems it's all about XPages and I haven't adopted it, so perhaps that's why I'm not seeing any new Domino work coming in. I'm no longer considered on the cutting edge of Domino. I doubt it, but it could explain what I'm experiencing.
But yeah, I'm yet to be convinced XPages are all they're made out to be. It seems the same goes of my clients. Especially my best client who's dropping Notes completely!
