It's a fucking pain in development.

@xsevy @python they have so many billboards up in my city touting “software that doesn’t suck”

Feels like a similar pitch SalesForce used to make

@davesh @python I believe it can be a very useful tool from a corporate point of view, it has a lot of great solutions. But unfortunately as a programmer I get headaches because of it.

It certainly has a learning curve, and not everything is well designed. However, I think that's unfortunately to be expected of the whole domain; ERP tends to be one of the most complex types of software. The question is, which option makes this whole complexity less painful/overwhelming.

For the scope, features and breadth that Odoo offers, I think it's doing a decent job (albeit with lots of room for improvement).

Is there any alternative ERP system of a ~comparable scope that you could alternatively recommend? Python-based is ideal, but other languages are also fine.

@Pabo @xsevy Somewhat different to Odoo but take a look at ERPNext - @python based and very adaptable.

Why not???? I am doing it since 1 month now and I don't see a single problem with it.

Odoo sounds smelly

[–] twoframesperminute@mastodon.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@onlinepersona It looks sleek and says it does everything. Reason enough to keep away.

naah, Odoo is really good if you want your software ready in few weeks :D
