"Notes "lovers" have some form of Stockholm"
Notes "lovers" tend to be end users that are used to using it. Not so much the admins.
But said syndrome is typical of everyone in IT. Everyone prefers what they've mastered over things they haven't, as a general rule.
No one likes that, "I could do this on x... but I have no idea how to do the same darn thing on y... I'm right back to square one..."
Plot twist.... CIO email team canned, outsources corporate email as a service using Notes to HCL.
Get the lighter fluid out and pull down your pants, Notes is making a comeback.
He' CTO at Cisco now Send him regards from your freemail
I just had to post this. Taken from a comment to the Register article.
"I've administered both Notes and Exchange, and I would rather set my own di-k on fire than manage Notes again, and that's not even factoring in the ab-----n of a client. I can't help but believe that Notes "lovers" have some form of Stockholm syndrome. Notes is a better application platform, I will grant that much, and it is certainly easier to deal with than SharePoint, but on the email/calendaring front it blows goats.
Good luck, IBM! My years of refusing to even look at IBM technology are certainly seeming wise!"
