Pros

I appreciate the amount of work they put into the SAP ecosystem. It's something.

Cons

What I do not and will not appreciate about it is the piece of trash that came out of their idea. As a developer, you better feel suicidal if you think about starting to work with the biggest disaster of a programming language. The language is locked down on its own kernel, so you can only do what they want you to do. Furthermore, the libraries of functions they put at your disposal may work under some conditions, but you will never know that because they are not documented anywhere. The only documentation you will find are the indians on forums. It's a straight-up joke. Some of the most commonly used functions are not even working properly, risking you ending up spending a day or two finding an alternative. SAP is aware of their "amazing" work, which is why they are pushing their Cloud agenda so hard at every opportunity. They want everybody to ditch ABAP forever and rely on other programming languages made by people who know what they are doing. Pathetic.

Advice to Management

Stop doing everything for profit. When people get tired of this, the fall will hit so hard. SAP will become that thing we all struggled with like nomads back in the days.
