Thinking big is not necessarily good. Rapid or uncontrolled growth kills more small businesses than any other cause. How are these Irubin Consulting folks financed? If they grow too fast they will lose control of their company to investors.CirTap wrote:@Frank: good car crash, hum? -- and I was called harsh
You made good points throughout, especially abut the front-ends simplicity. Magento's interface, and Im not talking about the "looks", is well designed with easy-to-use features you can also find on VM's own todo list.
I should have said 'bad' car crash. Four folks is not very deep. Heck, they could get in an argument and that could be the end.
I don't worry about getting support from either Varien (purchased) or the Magento community (free); +10k members in ~12 months, numbers growing. Their forum software suxx, but I was able to find my answers.
Varien's new "partner programm" is a serious (professional + commercial) approach to support shop owners (my clients) and implementors (that's me). They definitely Think Big <g>.
The Magento site is becoming pretty busy recently -- and slow; the production release is expected by the end of this month -- unless there's a bus crash.
Let's see if their staff manages to iron out the ~300 "high/normal" severity issues in their bug-tracker <g>

Looking at Magento's forum it looks like they are doing well -- a very low number of unanswered posts. Like I said, I am looking forward to using this product.
