I too am no great fan of the Domino applets. However, most of my work is with internal corporate web sites, and in a homogenous browser environment like that, many of the applet disadvantages go away - different JVM's, Java applets disabled, even the IE security prompts are not an issue. In that environment, and for applications which require rich text to be created from a browser and edited later by a Notes client, I think the RT applet is a reasonable solution.
