OpenHAB?

I generally look for OH mentions when discussions like this start up and am fascinated how it never seems to be mentioned.

In my experience it has its own rough edges, but its significantly more understandable, more stable and easier to get going.

My experience was the opposite. When I was first getting into home automation I tried OpenHAB first and just got frustrated, then Home Assistant and it clicked for me. I guess different software works for different people.
