It's not that bad once you wrap your head around it.
That being said, it's getting old, and it shows. They have built up as much as they could, and right now we have a tower that might drop at anytime.
Magento 2 will solve this.
- nightclubsub 12y agoIt's not, developers just bear with it because they don't know of better alternatives. Magento is a monolith and always will be. It's built on top of PHP's slowest framework, Zend which doesn't advertise speed but rather raw power. Magento is going to crumble, it's just a matter of when
- Raphmedia 12y agoOkay, let's me phrase it this way then. It's a big piece of weird code that isn't intuitive at first but become relatively easy to work with once you understand what's happening (give up on the why, half the stuff makes no sense). The current version is going to crumble, but hopefully Magento 2 will be built to last.
- benmarks 12y agoNot really accurate to say that Magento is "built on top of... Zend." We don't use much of it. Regarding the crumbling comment... well, Magento is seven years old. There's a reason we're releasing Magento 2. Code's on GitHub, PRs welcome: http://github.com/magento/magento2/ http://github.com/magento/magento2/
