SharePoint is a Great Development Platform
I think it's great because it extends .NET with the same API's and the same Developer Tools. It's great because it has lots of end user functionality out of the box for developers to extend. It's great at being an Office content server and integrating with Word, Excel and other client applications. It's great because it offers an enterprise capable web application development environment.
My opinion, maybe I'm biased, but this guy doesn't work for Microsoft. He's got the right idea:

True, but the need for a copy of Win2K(3-8) to run it on is still a limiting factor.Anonymous

If only one didn't need to jump through endless hoops to extend it, and just write stuff the same (convenient) way as we can for plain ASP.NET...Anonymous

Hey There Kevin, grab the Windows Server license from your MSDN Subscription. Pavel, tell me about the hoops you see. We're keen to help resolve them in one way or another. Chuck, you do not require SQL Server for a WSS install. Yes the server OS is required but it can work with an internal SQL isntance. Regards, PaulAnonymous

Sadly, it is not to be. We cannot send an email with attachments from a SharePoint Designer workflow
