IBM’s Lotus Notes is the biggest hunk of software crap on the planet, right next to IBM’s Rational software suite.

NOTHING from IBM is of any professional quality value. Their software looks like it was written by third graders.

I used Lotus Notes for years when I worked for IBM and I hate it.

There are many who are happy with, and rely on, the IBM OSes, like OS/400 (aka IBM i).

But yes, I worked with Notes (used to be owned by Lotus in the old days) and it has always sucked.

I almost didn’t take my current job when I found out they use Notes. Notepad is more advanced, stable and user friendly than Notes.

That might be true of their PC software but their large systems operating systems hardware is in a word bulletproof. So I would not make a blanket statement like that.

I work on large IBM systems and the ORACLE folks are just pea green with envy over the reliability of the Power systems and the I operating system with DB2.

Technology is like a salad bar you use whats' good and whats' good for you and leave the rest.
