Dear Classic… it’s time to say goodbye. We weren’t perfect in our relationship, but we had a rhythm. When we first met, my hair was black… and with every upgrade, I sometimes wonder why it keeps turning white 😄 We’ve been through a lot together. I first saw you as Epicor Vantage—that’s what they called you before. No matter the name, you were always the same… a little slow, a little lazy, with all the wildness of a teenager—but somehow, you made things work. Then you grew into E9, then E10… still carrying the same behavior. Stubborn, unpredictable—but dependable in your own way. I remember when you said goodbye to Crystal Reports and moved on with SQL Server Reporting Services. Crystal was a well-known guy back then, but you chose what was comfortable for you. That was always your style. We went through everything together—“Unhandled Exception” breakdowns, random crashes, and mysterious errors. We blamed Windows for most of it… poor guy. But somehow, we always managed. I will miss the small things: ![.](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/6/b/6bfb1180dbc9fe8852db8264f109f3d7ca860c3f.gif) - Your classic buttons - The binocular search - Tree views that actually made sense - Dashboard maintenance - That creepy code editor (which believed it was the best compiler alive) - Customization wizards - And those random buttons… still there, with no explanation 😄 Somehow, all of it just worked for us. And now… it’s time to move on. You’re stepping into a new life with Epicor Kinetic—a cloud-first world, full of APIs, AI, and modern screens. No more dependency on machines, no installs… everything just there. And me… I’m moving with you. Still learning. Still adjusting. This new companion is different. Very silent. When errors happen… no shouting, no drama… just silence. And I’m left guessing what went wrong. Cache seems to be her favorite snack. She keeps eating it and sometimes forgets everything like a short-memory baby 😄 Refresh, reload, clear cache… looks like my new daily routine. Sometimes she looks very smart—clean UI, modern design, talking about cloud and AI… but inside, I’m still searching for my binocular button and wondering why the same work now takes more clicks. Maybe I will get used to it. Maybe this is the future. Less noise… more guessing 😄 I’m still here… learning, adjusting, slowly letting go… Goodbye Classic… you were problematic, unpredictable… but you were ours. And Kinetic… let us start life. I hope you know what you’re doing 😄 ---

Love it.. I mean you could clear all cache from epicor every browser close but there goes your customisations and hotkeys 😉 ---

We remain on Classic for the time being. Why would we eliminate productivity over a web interface, it makes no sense at all. Oh its cross-browser and cross operating system friendly, cool no one cares, everyone uses Chrome or Edge and is on Windows, even the nerds of Apple hate Safari. 🙂 ---

> [@hkeric.wci](#): > > Why would we eliminate productivity over a web interface Exactly! We never asked for any of this. It is not for us, it’s for them. What’s that stock market term for betting against a company, or betting a company will fail? Think Epicor looked at their client list and said, ‘I bet we can make more money killing all these businesses than we ever could selling them a working product!’ ![Garbage Gasoline GIF by 100% Soft](https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWU5MGVkYmEzaXM4M3NoYTZmeG5jNWlkY3A5ejU2azBpeGg4YTJ1NTkxcWU4dm90dCZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/WpXzDUQdQUulVtL3Sb/giphy.webp) ---

It’s not for us or for them. It’s for the prospects that are shopping for ERP systems right now. If you aren’t web based, you’re outdated. That’s the lay of the land at the moment. Just like if you aren’t packing some AI functionality, no one will buy either. You have to admit, it looks flashy. Until you start using it anyway. Then you miss the usability of the classic client. ---

To be fair, the controls moving is intentional and a great improvement (eventually)! When you change the size of your screen/form, things actually change unlike in Classic when you just get a huge, empty gray ocean surrounded by an old 640x480 (exaggerated) sized portion of usable data that is the same size it was since 1995. I do think they are headed in a positive direction. Some of the features of application studio are actually kinda cool. Mind you, some are infuriating as well. RIP Tab Order. You will be missed among many other features. ---
