Just got this recommended to me by a friend, seems like a really great platform for smaller businesses. Has anyone heard of them before, or tried them out?

    Venting again. The thing that pisses me off the most is how odoo refuses to adopt common practice and instead implements their own stuff:

    • Need an ORM? Well don’t expect odoo to use a battle tested and widely used library. Odoo implements its own, but good luck figuring out how to optimize a query.

    • Want a framework like React? Nope, we’ve got Owl — but only sometimes.

    • Want templates? Odoo uses its own XML dialect. That’s not really documented. Oh and XML is also the configuration language. Oh and about 40% of your codebase will be xml files with magic strings that at runtime magically call a python function. Because fuck you.

      Hahaha… This is pretty much spot on about the whole back end
