Your response reminds me of how many people view ColdFusion.

  I think Notes is pretty powerful for document management / workflow 
applications.  Unfortunately, as an e-mail client it is lacking.  As a web 
development platform, it is (or at least was) a poor choice.

  Back when I as doing Notes, the impression among many notes developers 
was that companies got 'burnt' out on Notes because of the time it took to 
install / get it working.  Since it wasn't web based, large companies would 
spend a lot of time installing / configuring Notes clients on 
machines.  After that huge investment, there was never a push to develop 
apps where Notes would excel.

  Allowing to sort by subject is as easy as clicking a checkbox when 
designing the view.  Displaying time, also, should have been relatively 
trivial for a Notes Developer.  Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect that most 
places would allow you to modify the mailbox template.
