    Unfortunately Magento IS shit. If you plan on using it as it is, and you don't actually need any fancy functionality for your website, then it's ok to use it, the nightmare comes if you happen to want it to do anything more than it can do. There's so many things wrong with it on so many levels that I'd need to write a whole article to explain all of them. Let's just say that as an experienced web developer, I'd rather build an ecommerce site from scratch in order to suit my specific needs than modify Magento. Why? Cause it will be way much faster, it will take way less headaches and work, and at the end I'll have a robust application that does exactly what the client wants, how he wants it, and the site admin won't have to deal with the overcomplicated admin panel of Magento and waste time learning how to operate it.

    • Is this due to layer upon layer of code-fishing in Magento, or due to oddball errors?vaxorcist
