Someone forwarded this blog posting to me. I am not so sure I agree with the sentiment. Quickr can be great, as long as you use it the way it was intended. IBM/Lotus, if you look at the marketing material, position Quickr as a "document services layer". It is intended to be used to facilitate collaboration. It was never intended to be a full fledged document mgt system or a web development framework.

I sat through a presentation at Lotusphere and a consultant talked about document mgt solutions in terms of four quadrants. In the upper left you had very simple low cost solutions that you could deploy quickly to do things like collaboration. Google Docs for example. Moving through the rest of the quadrants would take you on a journey from custom point solutions to full blown enterprise document mgt.
What makes Docova unique is that it fits in all of the quadrants, not just one or two. The reason is that it has excellent out-of-the-box functionality, but also it is very easy to customize. You can leverage all those years of Domino experience to extend the out-of-the box functionality to do many things. It can become viral in your organization, over time becoming an EDMS.
