SorryOpenERP - Friends don't let friends use OpenERP

We have thought about this every waking moment and then dreamt about it as well. We all knew what we had to do and it was high time that somebody put their hands up and decided it was enough. The Sorry OpenERP campaign is our way of declaring freedom from the cradle of filth, that we all know as Open ERP.

Isn't it all overly agressive? I honestly still can't decide if I think it's satire or not.

Maybe you'll get sympathy from people who already use OpenERP and share your strong negative opinion about it, but more balanced tech and business leaders considering an open source ERP might be put off by the overall tone, maybe even to the point of questioning the seriousness of your endeavor.

So basically,

The author doesn't like AGPL.

It's hard to upgrade from v6 to v7, and v7 (which is new) has bugs. Who upgrades their ERP to a new version without waiting for at least version x.1 ?

Python with a DIY ORM was a poor choice for an ERP (mem hog and floating point accounting). I guess OpenERP should have used the decimal module for Python.

And it sounds like OpenERP really fucked up the Party Model[1]. I'm surprised how many companies fuck up the Party Model. Salesforce fucks it up (you have to pay extra for a module to sell to an individual vs a company), and SugarCRM did too. Only MS Dynamics CRM seems to have it right (I'm probably missing some).

Oddly enough, the author shits on OpenERP's bad password management, but extols the virtues of Tryton, whose SSL cert is untrusted (https://demo.tryton.org)
