Tell me about your Magento 2 experiences

Tell me about your Magento 2 experiences

Mage 1.x for 10+ hours a day that I've not had much time to really work with Mage 2. I've been doing Mage 1.x for 8 years now and feeling a bit behind the ball (or smart) to not have picked up Mage 2 yet. I've done a few installs here and there but each time I thought it was horrible and not yet ready to pursue or suggest to clients. I'm finding it hard to balance building skills in a new technology that I don't feel comfortable to recommend because I don't believe it's mature yet, and worrying about being left behind when it finally is mature.

Every week here, there's reasonably negative comments about Mage 2, so I would like to know from all of you:

  • What problem does Mage2 solve for you that Mage1 doesn't?

  • What about Mage2 do you really like more than Mage1?

  • How do you feel about speed of development - if you're doing a new module or extending it, is it faster, slower or about the same amount of time?

  • What have been your bad experiences?

  • Have you started a Mage2 project and decided at some stage that no, it's not going to work, and what did you do?

  • Anything else you think is worthy of adding that I've not already asked

  • What are some really nice Magento 2 modules you are using?
