Magneto 2 Community Manifesto
Magento 2 Comunity Version itself is not so bad. However, Magento Core issues/bugs should be fixed during the implementation of the projects by Magento Agencies. As we can see Magento agencies not able to fix Magento’s core issues and contribute PR with the solution and unit/functional these to the official GitHub Open Source repository. As a result, Agencies are not able to deliver good projects using the M2 framework. Agencies are interested only in their own profit and hire the cheapest developers or outsource the development overseas. They are not able to even identify the issues.
In the crowded world of eCommerce, it often feels like there are no new tricks to try out. Lots of agencies claim to be committed to shaking up stale industry protocol, but “talking big” only goes so far without authentically innovative approaches to back it up and just sales broken Magento 2 solutions hosted on slow Magento’s Cloud.

If an Agency couldn’t contribute to the M2 Open Source, they should pay the community contributors for core bug fixes and code quality improvements. Agencies specialization is data entry, CSS design, 3-d party modules with additional performance issues installation, Varnish installation, and show fast cached page response time from the FPC. Agencies basically are not software development companies. It is a marketing and design firms. However, Magento is a very, very complex and modern software and not a SaaS Shopify store. Even other Enterprise solutions on Java and #.NET is not so complex and bloated as Magento Commerce architecture with all its gotchas.
Agencies charge local merchants for best-in-the-class implementation, however, the eCommerce site will be deflected without fixes of the Magento Core Issues/Bugs plus own implementation issue, 3-d party modules issues, Magento Commerce Cloud hosting issues.
From the other side, Magento and Adobe company doesn’t build websites for the customer and doesn’t involve personally involved in the struggle with M2 issues, and doesn’t care about developers and end-users. The maxim core team can do it is the Luma theme with sample data with zero customizations. Another problem that for hosting, Agencies regularly use the worst possible solution Magento Commerce Cloud Hosting, with their own performance and other problems.
If you want to check the quality of your Agency work, ask Łukasz Bajsarowicz (Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lbajsarowicz/). He is a real Magento Master and after fixing Magento core performance issue or bug for you, he will push pull request (patch) to the Magento core to make Magento better.
You can also ask me Yehor Shytikov(Email: egorshitikov@gmail.com) for assistance! My audit is free!
