Topic: Front Accounting Trendlines

I am curious where FA is trending and did some research on AI.  This is what I got back.  I didn't "write this" nor did I ask for the remarks to be slanted.  It's just what they said.  It seems to be pretty much spot on. 
------------------------------------

Dolibarr: Trending Strongly Up ????

Dolibarr is experiencing massive momentum and is behaving like a thriving, modern software project.
• Aggressive Code Development: A quick glance at the Dolibarr GitHub repository shows a highly hyperactive community. Developers submit multiple code updates and feature enhancements daily.
• Regular Major Releases: The project regularly pushes out major, polished version upgrades (scaling past Version 24+), introducing new security patches, UI improvements, and modern APIs.
• Growing Commercial App Store: The "DoliStore" (their plugin marketplace) expands every month because third-party software developers see a growing user base they can build paid extensions for.

FrontAccounting: Trending Down ????

FrontAccounting is essentially in maintenance mode. It is a stagnant project that is slowly fading into obsolescence.
• Minimal Development: The core FrontAccounting repository goes months at a time without seeing substantial new features or code changes. Most active development has been frozen for a long time.
• Security Patches Only: The tiny team left maintaining FrontAccounting primarily focuses on keeping the legacy code compatible with newer versions of PHP and patching critical security bugs, rather than adding new capabilities or modernizing the system.
• Shrinking Community: The user forums and third-party extension ecosystems have gone relatively quiet. Developers have largely abandoned it to build for modern platforms like ERPNext or Odoo.

The Takeaway

If you deploy FrontAccounting today, you are locking your company into software that looks, feels, and operates like it belongs in 2012.
