I'll give you one advice, kids. Don't agree if someone offers you to work with odoo.
It's a fucking pain in development.

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

@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

@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

Yup, all software sucks, and if someone is trying to tell you it doesn't, run.

My main goal is to write useful software that sucks less than its competitors. But I'll never try to argue that my software doesn't suck.
