What is Lotus Thinking?

The awkward Lotus Symphony is no improvement over other word processors or spreadsheet programs. In fact, its word processor is several steps backwards from the incredibly easy-to-use and productive Lotus Word Pro which, frankly, I still use despite the improvements in Word 2007. Word Pro is just so easy to use thanks to its InfoBox in which you can make all formating changes to text, frames, and pages -- as well as to all text, frame, and page styles. It is an incredible productivity feature that stands heads and shoulders above every other word processing application. Why Lotus would abandon it for the dreck interface in Symphony is beyond me. What were they thinking?
