I have never used a Salesforce app that was not terrible. I'm sure it provides lots of value to the business who use it, but it is awful awful for end users it is thrust upon.



My experience with Salesforce is exactly the promise of low code. Because you can get a lot more done without needing to be a software engineer, it empowers a whole extra set of people to build software without having to think in terms of reusability, performance, scalability, or a coherent data model. And you see the results of that.

I think as a platform it’s really powerful. (I’ve arrived at that after years of looking at it with disdain). But it’s problematic from our perspective exactly because it throws out anything we consider good habits of software development.
