Egor,
I understand sarcasm and think its effective, but in this case there's other considerations you may want to import into your view of the future of Domino. One thing to consider is that xpages was committed at Lotusphere to be coming to the Notes Client as well. Additionally, BlackBerry will be supporting xpages too, beginning with the higher current models, but on all new ones as they come out. So we do have an evolution of Notes development with the promise of "develop once, use anywhere". Regarding the enterprise integration, I wouldn't be so convinced that transactional ability will not be part of the plan. Once you have xpages talking to data sources beyond the NSF themselves, there are all sorts of possibilities. Add as well the fact that xpages enables application development possibilities way beyond standard Notes form/view development models. For starters, the ability to have more than one data source per pages, even joins, images in views, etc, etc. I fully understand the disappointment in the halt in NSFDB2 development. Hey, I'm an iSeries customer and I was totally miffed when they announced they would not advance to this platform, but I have to think they already saw there was a better, more expansive way of doing integration and adding relation database access to xpages, used in your choice of client, is a very positive thing. I encourage you to look further at xpages. Sorry, its not going to do exactly what you want today, but the direction is very promising.
NSFDB2 was a dead end and it never would have become what we wanted it to due to the restriction in the architecture.
