I don't find Drupal 8 that nice. It still uses crappy render arrays ('#var_name' => 'value') ... really? Ugh.

It still has random errors, our module stopped working because of a cache corruption. How does that even make sense?

Clear cache is now needed to get twig changes to propagate. Man. That is so slow and so pointless.

Took me about 2 seconds to find this: Disable Drupal 8 caching during development https://www.drupal.org/node/2598914

Yes. It took all of us 2 seconds to find it when we realised it what was happening. You're not the first person to type stuff into google.

It's 1.0 software, essentially. I've got several D7 sites, and I'm not even planning to look at D8 until the fall. Thanks for finding all the early bugs for me, though. :-)

I'm probably not going to move to D8 until there are concrete plans to retire D7. Which is still something being discussed in the community.

I'm not familiar with Drupal at all, so I believe you. I just liked the analogy. :)

Except that analogy is wrong.
