It is another big layer of framework on top of ASP.NET which does _not_ work reliably. Be prepared to spend your time producing bugfixes for subtle and/or obscure bugs which you will have on one sharepoint installation but not on another. Install sharepoint twice on different systems and there will be differences right after the installation.

I program at the moment c# and java for a living and c# is fine (java too, if you can ignore all the frameworks). But sharepoint is a PITA. Don't get me started on complex webparts, getting them to work is weird - if there's a programmers hell I'm pretty sure you will have to program for sharepoint there.

Yea, you pretty much have to replace every component it comes with. The stock "Alert Manager" just sometimes doesn't send alerts, etc.
