Hi all, I am in total agreement about the problems.
I am hesitant about the solution. OFBiz is not perfect, we all know that. A rewrite will not be perfect either. A major rewrite will distract attention from OFBiz, which currently works. Shipping is a feature. Joel Spolsky had a good discussion of these issues here: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html . Can we refactor what we have, putting a priority on having a working system at all times? If a major rewrite is being done on a separate branch, how can we ensure it will be straightforward to convert existing OFBiz implementations to the new system? Why would anyone adopt OFBiz if we're saying "the current version has significant flaws, but all our best developers are busy working on a major rewrite which might produce some results in a year or two"?
