Is Bitrix bad?

Question

PHP

Having stumbled upon a sea of ​​​​criticism about Bitrix, and cms in general, I thought about whether it is worth working with this cms
and whether it is worth working with cms and not frameworks like yii ...
I'm at the beginning of the path, tell me .... better cms or not cms
I sometimes I doubt that I will pull it at the framework level, now I am writing my Blog ..... I copied mvc something is clear, something is not there, but the blog is sawed more less successfully .....

Answer 1

Bitrix is ​​good for business. A recognizable brand, a bunch of typical, albeit not very high-quality solutions. Huge community.
Bitrix is ​​bad for self-development. If you look at Bitrix in comparison with Zend / Symfony or even some Fuel, you will most likely see what exactly is more in line with modern development standards in PHP and in general.

Answer 2

Subscribed to the JavaRush group | I want to become a Java programmer in VK. Here is a piece of the post "Lessons I learned in 10 years of working as a web developer":

For example, imagine a programmer who has been working with Bitrix or WordPress for a long time. At one fine moment, such a developer will stop developing professionally. After all, he does not need to think about some methodologies or design patterns. It has a specific API that the CMS system provides and all it does is just use ready-made functions or methods. Maybe sometimes extends the existing API, which is usually written "so-so".
The developer cannot go beyond this system and this leaves a big imprint on his thinking. For example, such a person cannot afford to start developing an application using the DDD (Domain Driven Design) approach. It will be almost impossible to implement automated tests with a continuous integration server. Those. it is very difficult to apply all the best that has accumulated in the world of web development to a CMS system.

I don’t remember where it was said, some people consider CMS-serov not up to programmers.
