 * It works… But I dread having to add or change anything. Simple bulk editing like
   changing tags of more than 5 products leads to gateway timeout, with some being
   changed and some not. Editing them one-by-one takes about as much time as waiting
   for the timeout. Setting up shipping categories-zones-costs is a confusing and
   convoluted nightmare of multiple screens, tabs, and settings. Misleading warning
   popups like “all of these items will be deleted” instead of “clicking OK will
   delete this category name”. And too much of what seems like basic functionality
   requires paid third-party plugins. It’s always like that, these examples are 
   just from the last two hours of struggle.
