Frickin Salesforce should spend less time on their Social Justice Bullspit and more time on making their program work. Forcing me into "Lightning Experience" in 45 or so days. There are clear holes in the "experience." Holes that have been there for years. No one is rushing to fix them and they are part of the program that is NOT customizable.
There was nothing wrong with the old "classic" version.
I seriously thought Salesforce would be my last migration of data. It was 8 years ago. I'm concerned that by year-10, I'm going to have to migrate again and learn a whole new system. This latest shenanigans is just icing on that cake.
I bet if I sold crystal meth or employed a bunch of "sex workers" I could still use their software. LOL
I would say this is no different than the baker who refused to make the specific cake for the couple but in this case salesforce changed the terms and conditions after the fact. You can argue other vendors exist but unlike the case with the baker acquiring and implementing a new software it’s very time consuming and very expensive.

There's literally no reason why a gun shop would be using Salesforce in the first place.
I make so much money moving people from salesforce to sugarcrm its hilarious. Who TF would pay $75 a user a month when you can buy a $3k server and pay a programmer $125 an hour to mostly turn off modules you don't need. It's so flexible I've even had skinflint clients sucessfully use the wrong modules because they were 'close enough'. Most popular is for the lawyers, sugarcrm has a nice opensource document generator. Open the record with youe client info, hit documents/209a and you print out a restraining order with all the info from the record, and bill the client an hour. Great for mailings too, it can print envelopes and letters with content aggregated from client records, we see it's been x days since we heard from you, please enjoy this coupon for discounted service.
IMHO CRM software is a pox on humanity, but if there's a need for it, it's stupid to overpay for it... the reason Salesforce or whoever gets that money is because a lot of
the software sucked so bad (eg, Goldmine) that it became an exchange like apparatus that people hated paying some black-box consultant to come in and fix, so they throw
their hands up in the air and go to the rapey cloud based option.

This is why I like GNU so much. I hand over not only the source code for the parent project but also the functions I write. The nice thing about sugar is you can develop modules in the native codebase and then write upgrade-safe modules that behave like plugins. If anyone wants to work on my code they can, and most of those functions are pretty simple. Plus I name everything nicely (function_gateway_google_api_spelling_java) You think goldmine was bad, I have some stories about ACT! that would make any consultant cry. Amicus Atty is another one. Closed source overpriced garbage. Both by Sage software BTW, who I am convinced is run by satan himself.
Regular people translation: "I type stuff on computers to make them work. See, I'm a wizard!"
You lost me at "This." ROFL!!!!

"Or what?"
Seriously - what could they possibly do to a company that paid to use their software, and is involved in the very legal, and highly already regulated business of selling guns or ammunition?
They gonna do a remote "rm -r *" or otherwise disable the software?
And in the case of the baker refusing service, the baker in question actually referred the customers to a different baker. Salesforce gives no f***s about you finding alternative service.
I had no issues with SF. It's definitely designed around a bigger organization and all this crazy sales processes. But they had a "financial professionals" module that I really dug. That was 8 years ago.
Everything worked fine. VERY fine, in fact. Now in Lightning, things don't work anymore. It's designed around a call center. I don't run a call center. I don't want a 3-field call log. I'd like to use ALL of the fields - the ones standard to SF and the ones I added. Entering a brief call log then going back and editing it to get the FULL list is a PITA.
Their dashboard USED to tell you what tasks are overdue, what ones are coming up and such. Now it DEFAULTS to "today." No ability to change that. You won't get a reminder on a task until THAT DAY. You can look at overdue tasks, but not overdue PLUS today. Again - no ability to make changes to these dashboard items.
That's the problems I've found so far. It's not bad. But damn. Four years to fix this. I do searches and people were asking about fixes to this over a year ago. WTF,O???
Dude....Lightning is a PITA. At work I have 3 instances of SFDC for different products (came with companies we acquired).Frickin Salesforce should spend less time on their Social Justice Bullspit and more time on making their program work.

I thought in the case of the baker, he was going to have one of his employees bake the cake but they demanded that he bake it himself.
