Yeah, Notes/Domino got a bad rap for a lot of stuff, like the cruddy 90s UI that never got updated, but it was quite powerful for what it was.

A couple of things in particular were really good - reliable replication (which meant your workers could work offline and sync back later) and the document based store.

Fast forward 20 years from Domino 3, and you'll notice that the document based store model is still around in the form of CouchDB (spiritual successor to Domino?) and other products like MongoDB.

Exactly. Domino was NoSQL before it was cool...
