Ed Brill was asking for suggestions for improvements. I think the comment from Mr Freeman is excellent, that is what we truly want and need. Well maybe except the unicorn thing.

My own humble opinion is that the best thing to do with Notes/Domino is to remove as many pains from the customers as possible.

- Simple to administer AD integration. Make Domino the preferred user directory. Declan has a good point.

- Lets put in a new field type: OpenDocument. I got the idea from Mat: http://www.matnewman.com/Webs/personal/matblog.nsf/dx/the-open-document-epiphany-...-its-time-to-add-real-functionality-to-lotus-notes-field-types

- Make included templates shine.

- Provide more features that makes the executives that use them shine among friends.

- Inject knowledge about Notes/Domino into todays students. They are not yet Microsoftalized.

Personally if I were going for unicorn's I would ask for solid gold over plated :-)

On a serious note the developer tooling has to get better. Look at Visual Studio and work toward that. Code completion, writes chunks of code automatically, reliable, extensible, fast-ish, easy to use.

Designer, hangs, crashes, generally requires two monitors and sucks a bit.

Damn apostrophes to hell :-)

Unicorns not Unicorn's!

So then if IBM would ship a solid gold unicorn with every Designer client.... could Visiual Studio compete with that?
