Re: Fuck Magento
#2I did community work on Magento when it was about to blow up and even then it was kinda obvious that it was over-engineered, slow af and not suited for the shared hosting landscape (this was before it was branded as an "enterprise" solution). I'm surprised that anyone would recommend Magento to a new business in 2021.

#3The criticism is a bit over the top. I had to do some paid work on Magento extensions for a pre-existing customer installation for a while, and while it was a slow, bloated system unusable without throwing in a whole lot of extra cache systems, which also had its share of internationalization issues back then in v1, it was comparatively easy to find my way around the source even without being an actual PHP programmer or prior knowledge of Magento.
(Disclaimer: This was Magento 1. Haven't looked at Magento 2)
Still wouldn't recommend it for actually setting up a shop, though.

Just installed and testing Magento for a client, and I cant say I'm having a good experience. But what I miss in the rage registered domain, fuckmagento.com, are proper alternatives. I don't mind the rage posts about something being bad, but point out some proper alternatives too :)

Shopware, if actually need something self hosted. In fact most people probably do not need a self hosted shop at all in reality.

#6Built with WordPress, oh the irony.
WooCommerce should sponsor this page.

#8Pretty surprised something like this would make it on the front page of HN. Oh well.

Once I had a friend that asked me if I can modify a page of a WooCommerce web app. I wasn't able to find the text of this page anywhere and if I was trying to edit that in WordPress, the page in edit mode didn't look even 5% close to the final result. After one hour going around to edit one word on one page, I gave up.
