  • Plone Pros and Cons

    Posted by Roland Buresund at November 11. 2007

    What is the good and bad parts of Plone?


     


    Good Parts:


    • ZODB - Object Oriented Database
    • Python - Can't be easier to program
    • TAL/TALES - Excellent Templating
    • CSS - Done right
    • Flexibility - Unsurpassed
    • Archetypes - Easy to make new objects


    Bad Parts:

     


    • ZODB - Waking up objects
    • Debugging - Painful memory and performance hide-and-seek
    • Vocabulary - Everything has a bloody new name!
    • Monkey Patching that can't be fully uninstalled breaks the database or random parts

      • LinguaFace is a case in point

    • Learning Curve - The bad status of the documentation doesn't help
    • Importing data is a bigger pain than defining data
