- Anyone who's used Notes/Domino has run across it's foibles, and I have cursed them many a time, I assure you. It's infuriating when code runs flawlessly for six months, then one day it simply fails, and no one and nothing can make it work while The Powers That Be are screaming about that high-visibility application being off-line. The only recourse is to "code around it" and hope that lasts longer. In my experience it normally does. (knocks on head)
- But everything uses tons of automagic these daze, and everything has its issues, I imagine. I do have to imagine because I've done nothing but Domino (in various languages) for a little over twelve years, so I don't know what or how someone would do what Domino does. I did take a class on EJB a few years back and I can say with absolute and total certainty that EJB was a hideous bloody nightmare to develop for compared to Domino. The sheer amount of time spent coding to do the absolute most trivial things, like put a field on the web and commit the data, where truly staggering. Perhaps it's different now, as I said I haven't used it, but back then I'd run screaming to Lotus and beg to be allowed to subject myself to Designer.
- So I agree with you fully that it's got issues, and some of them can be right annoying. But I do not agree that "it's a horrible application platform".
That's fine, though. I can amicably disagree just as easily as rant about DDE (lopsided grin)...
