I’ve made a pretty good money over the years with Magento and even though I’d still recommend it to clients (since there’s no better alternative) every interaction with it is painful. To the point where I mentally add an “insalubrity” tax to every Magento invoice I make.
I don’t know how to feel about this accquisition. I already depend on Adobe a lot more than I’d like to, and this makes it no better.
- Shebanator 8y agoupvoted for new vocabulary word....
- tambourine_man 8y agoWhich one?
- throwaway413 8y agothe one in quotes
- tambourine_man 8y agoGlad to be of service :)
- throwaway413 8y agoNot OP but I’ll admit I googled it as well :P
- leviathant 8y agoOut of curiosity, are you familiar with Workarea? Seems to fit pretty squarely in the 'better alternative' category,at least for medium-sized and up companies.
- tambourine_man 8y agoOpen source and humongous ecosystem makes Magento unbeatable. You would be nuts to release a payment gateway with no support for it.
- jimnotgym 8y agoYet Sagepay (which was huge in the UK) relies on a third party plugin (Ebizmarts). We started getting duplicate payments randomly. It never got fixed. Now we use Braintree
- leviathant 8y ago>makes Magento unbeatable I don't know if you've had a look at the other comments in this thread, but if Magento was actually unbeatable, let's just say I'd still be coding in PHP today.
- tambourine_man 8y agoPHP is pretty hard to beat as well. I’m sure you are aware that most of the web runs on it. Wikipedia, WordPress and most other big CMSs. Oh yes, and that Facebook thing.
