Email would eventually catch up to most of the features Lotus Notes pioneered, rebuilding those features one RFC at a time. It was a glimpse of the future, like Xerox Alto before it. Anyone who used it knew that this was how we’d work in the future. Yet it was too much, when all people really needed was an easier way to communicate.
This has to be the best writing about Lotus Notes that I have read in quite a while. Whether you loved it or loathed it, this is a must-read.
