Have you even tried the current version 8.5? It is actually very nice. A lot of companies run really old versions of Notes because their IT dept dont want to upgrade.
amelluk: Shut up. Just shut up. Lotus Notes and everyone who ever helped code it need to die. If I ever go postal at work, it will be because of Notes.
The vast majority of unsatisfied Notes users are indeed using very old versions. It's curious to see how comments about the future posted here states that three years is a long time for cumputers and IT, how this or that company are also evolving, etc, while some others refuse to observe that Notes 6 is about 7 years old, and Notes 5 is about 10 years old. Now, while I agree that older versions had an old interface, name a software in your company that is actually SO GOOD that it is delivering it's value within the same version for this long ... that's why so many companies are still analyzing when to upgrade.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.

Funny... I made my peace with Lotus Notes around version 7. It's not nearly as slow or unstable as it used to be.
I have a hunch that most people who complain about Notes stopped using it around version 4 or 5, which was the "dark ages" of that product.
