I recently gave Sylius, based on Symfony, a spin. I wanted to add a field to a product, editable in the admin area. The additional code and the extensions were ok. Some of the config changes are understandable but I thought it a bit much when the number of additions to configuration outstripped the amount of code required.

I feel your pain. That's my biggest gripe with Symfony. Sometimes it feels like I am spending more time configuring that programming.

Rewind to 2005. Isn't this why Rails was born?

Funnily enough, I chose a Rails e-commerce solution, Solidus. I added the same feature, 0 configuration, similar if not less code required.

Unfortunately I'm the only one who knows Ruby but I have every faith that my colleagues can pick it up.
