We have had a similar issue. We have a good sized team using ofbiz platform. We first started doing a completely proprietory system for a few months using only the data model and ofbiz service import and front end completely in GWT. It was not giving us that much velocity in development and we were not using ofbiz properly. Decided to move to ofbiz platform more and have modified renderers extensively and did a lot of front end work with javascript/scriptalacious and gwt.
For us too opentaps etc. is not viable. Need system to be apache license based and want to contribute back to strengthen system. We have been too busy with immediate deliverable and engagement only in fits and starts with no back contributions. We would like to be able to things in better way too. Accounting is a big need for us. CMS would be very nice... currently we offer Joomla as CMS but ofbiz native would be far better.
