Compiere indeed does have an image problem. I looked at it while doing some free consulting for a friend. My main issues -

1. It's too heavyweight. I didn't need ERP or CRM, I needed POS and inventory with export of accounting functions to Quickbooks (I know, I know...)

2. Poor documentation. This is probably my fault. I don't have experience in any other ERP tools, so this was too big an apple to bite from.

3. Oracle. I don't work with Free Software to make money for egomaniacal billionaires. This is probably a personal failing. But seriously, who wants to tell a small businessperson, 'Hey, we need to buy Oracle'?

Oracle

Yep, that's the biggest problem. I remember looking at it a couple of years ago and the website was stating PostgreSQL support coming soon, and no progress was ever made in this direction, at least from an external point of view.
