I still wish for a widely-deployed replacement for Notes/Domino.

Sure, I can build CRUDish apps with Django, but there are simple use-cases that take me a week with Django, that would have been a day with Notes. It's crazy that things are slower for me 20 years later. I'm pretty sure I'm not dumber now.

Does Filemaker Pro solve that problem?

I have never used it, but it's no longer available as of last month:

http://www.filemaker.com/products/filemaker-pro/

"FileMaker Pro is no longer available. It has been replaced by FileMaker Pro Advanced which includes more features to help you develop and deploy custom apps faster and more efficiently."

IIRC, File Maker Pro Advanced is basically FileMaker Pro with additional features enabled. You would be able to use that in its place, but it might have a higher price tag.
