Salesforce -- successful business, hated by every programmer who has ever touched it.
- codeulike 11y agoI don't mind it. With SF you've got to remember they've been updating and extending the same live platform for over ten years. It's amazing that it's as cohesive as it is.
- polskibus 11y agoFor all their revenue, they almost never turned a profit. They are popular but I wouldn't call it successful in business sense.
- skj 11y agoMy wife, who is a sales director, loves SalesForce. Maybe programmers aren't their target market?
- warfangle 11y agoNope, but they are required if you want to do anything on it that's custom. And Apex as a platform is a nightmare to work with.
- dclowd9901 11y agoI can attribute this one to developers having to interact with sales force on behalf of their bosses. Hard to refuse usin a technology if your boss tells you you need to support it.
