[Discussion] Open Source does not make money by design

One last point… (and the reason I believe ERPNext/Frappe are dominated by ‘tool’ class developers)

If it were truly a public production mentality, then one of the first things they would have developed several versions ago would have been a user friendly GUI report builder that did not require developer knowledge to use it.

There are several other clues you can find as you learn the application, but ultimately ERPNext is still the ‘technical perfection’ dream of it’s developers and not really a great user application yet.

See this topic for how they probably got there:

When the team gets serious about making this a user centric product, you will be able to tell by the quality of the releases that users regard with praise.
