Anyone here want to share their opinion's on Magento? The small time I spent with it left me with a feeling it was the most over engineering piece of software I've ever worked with. It's made to build a market for modules to buy and isn't made to run an e-commerce site.

All written in PHP.

Yes, Magento is a really poorly written piece of software.

I'm not sure what relevance that has to this article. I could name a lot more software written in PHP that is poor. Does that tell us anything about PHP itself? I don't think so.

Dumpster fire filled with toxic waste.
