Not sure about that. It takes about as long to put a simple view together in Web2py as in Notes. It would take a bit longer to do a view with child records the first time around, but after that I don't see a problem. The Web2py security methods put Notes ACL to shame. True, it's not baked in like Notes ACL but once you get the hang of it, setting up authorizations for your app is pretty easy. I'll agree on calendaring with one disclaimer: the Notes calendar worked very well in the Notes client. Through a browser, not so much. But my familiarity stopped with Notes v6, so maybe it's better on the web now. I'll also agree that LotusScript is blecherous. The debugger, on the other hand, was very nice.
