"better to learn .net, sharepoint if you want employment.
lotus notes also not having rdbms technology to store data, and only some internal structure which not very efficient for reporting."
The irony is of course that as you are not meant to access the back end (relational) data store that MS designed for SharePoint, you can also see SharePoint as itself non-relational, like Notes. You get at SharePoint data through its API - lists and list items, not directly to the SQL store.
So there *are* conceptual similarities between the Notes and SharePoint. I've already said this but SharePoint, IMHO, is so widespread because
a) its cut down version (WSS (SP 2007) or SharePoint Foundation (SP 2010) ) is free - a trojan horse that seems similar to the tactic Sony used in their PS3 Blu Ray implementation (vs HD-DVD)
