Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-11791:
-----------------------------------------
Moreover, despite Paul's very good arguments in 2019:

We are compounding SEO, which is indeed much more important for
public-facing ecommerce, and good URLs. I think good URLs matter for the
backend too. - we should have better URLs *everywhere*.
Good clear URLs are of benefit to everybody. Our users can bookmark a URL
and understand what it means when they see it in the future. They can
quickly navigate by modifying a URL in the address bar.
Good URLs are an important part of a RESTful API (
https://restfulapi.net/resource-naming/).
The word "control" in the middle of all our APIs is a technical
implementation detail, and it's just noise for all our users all of the
time. It's as bad as .jsp, .php3, .aspx on the end of URLs, which are,
thank goodness, becoming much less common . "main" is not much better.
Cheers

I wonder now, facing the reality, if removing control from backend is really
indispensable :)
