People who bash EDI are clueless. The majority of B2B is EDI. EDI syntax isn't sexy, but it works (EDI metadata is still VERY useful)

@jevdemon EDI/EDIFACT isn’t just unsexy, it’s a really bad format. Plus, I can’t recall “many people use it” ever being a good argument

@stilkov @jevdemon Who cares about an ugly format if it works? EDI/REST/WS/etc are all just plumbing, not the value.

@mosesjones @jevdemon Sure. I'm just saying that "It sucks, but that doesn't matter" isn't a very convincing technical argument

@mosesjones @stilkov Saying something isn't sexy but it works and is used by the majority isn't a technical argument, it's common sense.

@stilkov @jevdemon saying 'it works but I still think it sucks' isn't a very convincing argument either, especially in plumbing.
