Bip Roberts posted:We use IBM notes at work for mainly legacy reasons. (it's bad) Lotus Notes is so bad I had half a day of training to learn how to use it. Not because I'm a mouth-breathing moron - I hope - but just because of how unintuitive everything is. To this day I still don't understand who could have looked at the e-mail and calendar behavior and UIs then said "yep, that's good, ship it". Then again, the problems were clearly deeper than just the end-user side since the instructor taught us how to use a small program that was pre-installed on every PC in the company which only served to terminate the run-time of a local Lotus Notes session... I don't like some of Outlook's features, since it's not the first mail client I used extensively, but using Notes was torture. No matter what, I felt compelled to check that it had actually done what I asked it do to. Send a mail? Check that it's been sent. Looking at your inbox? Check if it's properly fetched mail recently. Creating an appointment? Check that it actually sent the request to the invitees. It's like it's actively working against you half the time, between hanging for no obvious reason, unintuitive behaviour, local settings that are just randomly overwritten/reset by the network administrator or corrupted, and ridiculously obtuse settings and menus... I am still baffled why anybody would actually pay IBM for Notes given how much frustration and wasted effort it leads to.
