Your thought process is exactly what got Microsoft "stuck." Lotus Notes spent one year without the market share of end-users.
Does the interface lack Outlook - yes
Does it do more then Outlook - yes, its a mail platform and an application platform.
Does IBM have bad UIs - yes
Does Microsoft have good UIs - yes
So you can buy Exchange/Outlook that looks sexy, but can't failover and cluster worth a crap or you buy Notes/Domino that clusters and failovers like there is no tomorrow.
Work at a real company where millions of dollars change hands on a daily basis and Notes/Domino is the only solution. Work at a 500 to 2,000 employee company and Exchange is the way to go.
