Comment on Magento is dead – Merchants want a suite of marketing tools, not refactored code

Comments

While this article may be correct on a few points, the idea that Magento should bundle every feature under the sun is silly. That is what the module marketplace is meant to provide. And even some of the features tagged as missing ARE provided in the Enterprise Edition if you are inclined to pay for a license.

I think the bigger issue with Magento 2.0 is the missed opportunity to use the backward compatibility breakage to clean out some of the horrible bits of home-grown code in Magento and replace them with 3rd party libraries.

If anything, I think Magento should actually drop features from core and become a solid platform for others to build upon.

EDIT: Speeling :)
