Yeah, SharePoint is not going to go away and eventually will mature into a product that replaces a lot of the stuff that developers were always needed for. SharePoint was sold to us as Lotus Notes on steroids, maybe because a lot of our group are ex-Lotus Notes programmers. None of those ex-Lotus people though seem to be overly impressed with it so far.
I think what will be interesting to see in the coming years is what competing products come out to compete with SharePoint. I know of at least one company in its infant stage right now that was started solely to do that and by ex-MS employees who got aggravated with all the issues they were facing from trying to support WSS. I do not know how complex your Lotus Notes applications are but would be curious to hear if you ultimately end up using the built in WFF or have to go to a third party workflow tool. The two applications I had demo'd to me that were SharePoint applications both used third party workflow tools because they found the built in ones just were not going to cut it for them. One of those applications was a pretty hefty application, the other I would not rate as big, maybe medium.
