Micro$oft's Dirty Secret: SharePoint Sucks

SharePoint Sucks
I was amazed to find that the SharePoint community are quite sensitive about the constant message they hear that “SharePoint Sucks”. Those in the pro-SharePoint camp feel it is a message being unfairly attached to the product (keep drinking the kool-aid guys). Hey, they have even started giving User Group presentations with titles such as “SharePoint for Developers Who Hate Sharepoint”. The key difference here is that the “Notes Sucks” mantra was largely a response by users of the Notes client prior to Notes 8.0. The “SharePoint Sucks” mantra appears to be from a developer community forced to use a product they quickly grow to hate. Another difference is that Micro$oft has been quite successful in amplifying the “Notes Sucks” message while the “SharePoint Sucks” message has been well muted. Don’t wory Micro$oft, your secret is safe with me. Lets keep it between you, me. Oh… and the few people who read my blog… SHAREPOINT SUCKS!, SHAREPOINT SUCKS!, SHAREPOINT SUCKS!!!!!

    OH YES ! 100% agree ! trying to develop the simplest thing with this pile of sh1t takes WEEKS !

    Oh yes, creating a sharepoint site from a template and using sharepoint designer to tart it up is “easy”…

    but this is CUSTOMISATION not DEVELOPMENT !

    As soon as you get into the developsent side its like one step forward and five steps back.

    Unfortuantely my client has it and wants to use it. Could do the same in Notes/Domino in HOURS. But, of course, Notes sucks doesn’t it !

    Does this also apply to SharePoint 2010 ? I heard a lot of people saying that SharePoint 2010 is much better.

    Tarek.
