SharePoint Initial Impressions

I have recently been doing quite a bit of work with SharePoint. This hasn't been much fun becuase (at least as of yet) it doesn't involve much coding and relies heavily on microsoftian configuration. It has however, been very productive for a fairly low level of effort. In the past week alone, I have rolled out a couple blogs, a shared calendar and a document library, all with fine grain access control, desktop application integration, alerting and workflow. I did have to do a fair degree of customization to these apps, mostly involving disabling or hiding unnecessary functionalities. It has been very interesting learning about the power, limitations and of course bugs of SharePoint.
