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.
