For all of the opinions that an old refrain garners (I hope you know the one of which I speak), it is really nice to see someone else, outside of Lotus, IBM, and the Lotus Community, comment on the product.

Of all of the news items from IBM trumpeting Lotus Notes and Domino, it seems to me that the recent, heavily reported news that US Bank picks Lotus over Microsoft could be seen as a turning point in the conversation. Regardless, it seems to have affected one Microsoft Sharepoint Developer..Maybe more. :-)
Quite honestly, as someone who makes her living off of SharePoint, I don't spend a lot of time learning to use other products. (I often say, there's no point for a carpenter to learn how to lay bricks, unless he wants to become a brick layer.) However, several months ago I was re-introduced to Lotus by an IBM rep in the area. He very strongly insisted that Lotus is anything but dead, and in fact, IBM is in fact dumping huge amounts of money into the product. (No doubt, with the popularity of SharePoint, IBM realized there's clearly a market for its product.)
Although I have been brought into more than one client to replace legacy Lotus apps, I wonder how many people in the next year or two will be brought in to replace SharePoint apps with Lotus apps.

@Graham: Does the "More" link not work? Should I also break it out into its own link? (Just wondering from a useability standpoint).
