I'm CLP since 4.6 and do most of my business with Domino.
Lotus Notes/Domino is very stable, is very powerfull, is very respectfull of Internet standard, in a word is a very good product.
Yet many "dummies" prefer MS Exchange/Sahrepoint/.net and all that crap because MS is a leader of "real business solution".
Yet many other "open minded people" prefer open source software (like Drupal) because it's a good alternative to the evil empire of MS.
In the midle Lotus stands and is perceived as a closed system controlled by a 100 years old company (IBM). Not a very exiting position.
So if Lotus was fully open (not just open NTF templates), we'll be much better off because will combine the "open attitude" with the "real business solution". It's just marketing (or anti-marketing).
Lotus is getting there : they don't bother with software keys, they start to give the server away, they support Linux, they are going to support ODF, but it's far too slow.
We'll be doing way more business when will have Open Source Domino.
