Nice coding article by the guy who wrote the Notes R6 formula engine. R5 is the devil, there is no other way to say it, but I have heard better things about R6. The problem really is, as he says, that Notes is basically an operating system with many different apps running on top of it and as such most of those apps are only average. Of course then you put an average app like Notes Mail next to Outlook and it just looks silly.
