Used it once, 1996 I think.

If everything isn't black and white, I say, 'Why the hell not?'
John Wayne (My guru, not to be confused with my beloved prophet Jeremy Clarkson) -
I use it all day every day for my email client plus several other applications (forms) fronting other databases. I've never needed killnotes.exe and every client upgrade (since v6) has gone like a charm.
I don't know what you lot are moaning about. As for changing to Outlook, well flabber me ghast!
I do admit though that a problem with Notes is finding the right buttons and menu options. It's all in there, but you have to use the (good) help system to find it.
Oh, I'll also admit that Team Rooms are tulipe.
I think Notes might best be described as "Groupware" as it's far more than just an email client.Comment

Notes always felt 'unfinished' to me, like a beta release.
I also thought it strange to name the server component 'Domino'; an item synonymous with 'falling over'.Comment

Two clients over here have used it, including current one. Horrendous.
Only good thing is an app called Awesync which syncs from Notes to my Google account and subsequently my Android phone. The app runs from a memory stick which is great because ClientCo PCs are locked down.Comment

Wow. Just wow. It's like something from the 90s.
Slow as hell. Terrible user interface. Slow. Loads of functionality just not there. Slow. Loads of useless functionality including. Slow.

Has anyone ever had to use this amazing software?<Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!Comment

A complete basket case of a product and one that I use on the majority of gigs.
Notes tends to be in large scale organisations that have had at one point (or still have) an IBM mainframe. I don't think many places would go out and buy it on their own but it was easy for IBM to slip the stinking pile of monkey shit: in when pitching new mainframes to the client.
Notes, IE6, shit: code & crap staff tend to flock together I find.Comment
