Never had problems with the Lotus Notes ini file. It isn't even recursive. You can just pick up the whole Notes folder, move it to another computer and keep going. Can't do that on Outlook.
The main reason why most people seem to hate Lotus Notes is the fact that its interface is quite different to the rest of the Microsoft Windows/Office style. It takes a little getting used to. Sure, the old Notes5 interface is clunky, but wait until you try Notes 6.5. And other place where Notes 6.5 totally cleans up.... scheduling a meeting through the calendar.

That it's obviously not a "we-kept-it-simple-stupid" app
"Stupid" is applications that use endless, recursive .INI files and is written for Win95 API's, while taking upwards of 100meg per session. Thats Lotus Notes.
Outlook uses the registry and profiles, and uses modren installer tools written this decade.
Lotus Domino requires a 3ghz P4 with a gig of RAM just to move while I've run Exchange 2000 on 300ghz PII's with 512 meg of RAM, and it still ran faster than the Domino box.
This guy has the best attitude about the matter:

I'll say this much for Lotus Notes, like all IBM products at least it has this going for it:
It might be slow, but at least it's hard to use!

There is no such thing as an IBM desktop computer now. They're all Lenovo products now. Now, go back to work before your boss outsources you to China
Besides, IBM products are supposed to be hard to use! That's how their services business stays profitable!
