Interesting read, but I am afraid Lotus notes should have more haters than lovers than shown.

The number of people using (and hating) Notes is greater than the people developing for it.

Since 1997, you should accurately refer to it as IBM/Lotus Domino.

An annoying email client, to be sure.

But the Domino project was a fork of Apache, with support of server-side JavaScript (as well as VB-Script variant) talking to an HTML based templating system. This allied to an embedded NoSQL database engine that's the ancestor of CouchBase, with a granular ACL system of authentication based on RSA keys.

So, totally uncool then. :-)
