Salsa is good for everyday use

Having worked with it, I hate it. It’s the kind of software that appears to thrive on being difficult to learn. I’ve also used Primavera (portuguese) in the past (now called Cegid) and I found it better.

An anecdote that illustrates the biggest problem for me with these. I’m portuguese and I’ve never even heard of Bi-office, let alone see them in stores.

There has to be an incentive for shops to market these (other than the tariffs). We need euro or EU markings.

Not only that but a lot of products (food especially, except meat) are really bad (both in Portugal and in Spain).

Oh, and Normal (which I think is scandi) is really good to buy name brands.

Auchan is one of the shadiest there is. Still operating in Russia with no intention of leaving.

In Portugal I usually stick to Continente or Pingo Doce (both Portuguese capital owned, I think), and sometimes Lidl for some products that are only sold there.

Let’s be honest, all frozen pizza suck. The ones that are sold pre-made, even the white label brand ones (still european) are way better.

The real problem here is that the “alternative” is a lot country specific alternatives that have no leverage to command worldwide adoption.

This could only be addressed ultimately by EU federalization. Let’s see how much time until people and governments take to realize this.

The design is good, but I don’t really like the form factor (it’s too big). The case is a non negotiable item for me, so curiously it would all depends on the availability of clear cases. I’m waiting to see how is this handled in Phone 3
