Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Steep learning curve for non-Python developers

   FeinCMS leverages advanced Python features and Django-specific patterns, which can be challenging for developers unfamiliar with these technologies.

2. 02

   Limited documentation and community support

   The official documentation is sparse, and the community around FeinCMS is relatively small compared to more mainstream CMS solutions like Django-CMS or Wagtail.

3. 03

   Frequent breaking changes between versions

   Version updates often introduce significant changes that require substantial code refactoring, as seen in the transition from v0.1 to v0.2 where chain definitions needed rewriting.

4. 04

   Complex setup and configuration

   Setting up FeinCMS requires a deep understanding of Django settings and custom configurations, which can be time-consuming for new projects.
