I’m not sure on where to put this.
I love ERPNext and the potential it has. But it frustrates me, everywhere I go, I’m bound to experience error/bugs. Even with the installation, I already encountered issues. Few weeks back, I was about to recommend ERPNext to a client, but given the state that it is now, it’s hard for me to justify why ERPNext over other more “mature” and stable software.
I believe it’d be good to do one release just to sort out all the existing issues and perhaps put the addition of new features to a pause. Otherwise, the issue backlogs are just gonna keep piling up.
Would love to hear your thoughts about this.
Cheers,
Don
I understand the point for view you’re presenting, but I’d say in defence of the ERPNext team that they are responding to requests as they come. The forum is filled with good ideas for feature implementation, many of which are needed to facilitate prospective users. It’s a very difficult job to balance debugging and new feature implementation, and I think that the team has done a really good job with this.
We have just seen the release of a brand new version with a number of new features in the past few weeks and, naturally, there are a bunch of new bugs that need to get sorted through. I have found the team very responsive to fixing bugs as they are brought forward. I hope that the next few weeks and months will have a greater focus on debugging than the past few have, but there are also a number of features I really want to see implemented, so I’m split as well.
