It's 2023: Is Magento Dead?

I've been a Magento developer for over a decade, and I've heard the question a lot: Is Magento Dead? I have many strong opinions of Magento + Adobe, and here's my take.

Magento 2 has to be the most unstable and poorly designed ecom platform i’ve ever used.
I'm worried that if I edit the homepage I will break it, I can't mass upload products, the backend is super slow, I have to spend money updating apps and magento versions, its not set up for google core web vitals, the offers always reset themselves, the indexing never works, the inventory oversells when inputted manually, i have to deal with external hosting, the reports don't work and are untrustworthy, I can't sell on ebay using magento inventory. I'm constantly trying to fix errors rather than actually sell stuff. And if i ever want anything fixed that’s a load of cash to a dev. awful

Great vid Mark. We’re still all-in with a Magento and don’t plan on moving. One thing - you said MSI is a commerce feature - it’s part of Open Source too ;)

I have been developing projects with Magento since 2007, and so far the best until these days 2024 is Magento!. My experience with all the other player's "e-commerce carts" are behind...and you get stuck at some point. Long life Magento.

There are 2 things i think missing on this video, 1-There is no default admin credentials. 2- 2 factor authentication is enabled by default. Even admin puts his email to get authenticator barcode, there is no email sent.
Possible solutions:
1- disable 2 factor authentication
2-create admin user via cli command

Hey Mark alldo i still do magento eavry day for the last 6 years I started seeing a shift to shopware being more fast and having better backend functionality already out of the box (example the translation) this dose not mean it is deaing but there are bethere open source solutions that do more then magento and are faster. Please prove me worng.
