Lotus Notes

[Msterbeau]

My employer is talking about migrating to Lotus Notes for email, etc. I've used it before. I didn't like it.

It's been a while, so I go snooping around to see what the latest Mac release looks like and find some reviews. To my amusement, the commentary is generally along the same lines as what I thought of their product. Here's a good example:

"This is right up there with Viruses and spyware coming to the Mac."

This is better:

"The only thing that could "Ease the Pain" of Lotus Notes users is to delete that program from existence."

And this one made me laugh out loud:

"At my last job we used Exchange and Outlook. I hated Outlook with the intensity of a thousand suns and was always bitching about how it was the worst steaming pile app on Earth.

That is, until I changed jobs and was shown the utter horror blown straight out of Satan's ass that is Lotus Notes. Even running it on OS X does nothing to mitigate the pain."

Anyone else ever have to use it?

I fucking hate Notes.

Notes isn't that bad, it's just a different format....once you get used to it, it's not that bad.....It's like the whole winders/crapentosh debate

[Shade Everdark]

I use it at work. I don't particularly hate it or like it, it's just thoroughly mediocre.

Oh man! I've only had it at one job but I remember the suckage!!! Oh I remember!!!

I feel sorry for you. And that's coming from an ex IBM employee.
