    <p>To my experience, developing a custom LOB application around Orchard may be a good or bad idea. It all depends with what actually your are trying to achieve and most importantly what potential features/functionalities you want to leverage from the Orchard framework.</p> <p>Personally speaking, I fell in love with the Orchard modularized architecture and simplicity of the backend design. I wanted to have all these features in my application and decided to write my application entirely on Orchard.</p> <p>So, if you want to make same decisions I made, I should possibly warn you about the followings:</p> <p>1 - You have got to understand the MVC internals pretty well since orchard has a huge amount of code written in this arena. If you are not that much of an expert in MVC, you will find yourself spending a lot of time figuring things out that you should.</p> <p>2- Depending what type of application you want to develop, getting rid of some of the built-in modules may be necessary, even some of the core modules which may lead you into problems that are hard to fix.</p> <p>3 - With this amount of customizations you make, any future release from Orchard will possibly break your code - and you may find yourself maintaining your own application framework and being unable to apply bug fixes and such. And mind you, Orchard is just a new framework, so expect a bunch of bug fixes, releases very soon.</p> <p>Plus other possible ramifications, it is very important to weigh the pro and cons here before you make a final decision.</p> <p>So, my advice is a follows:</p> <p>If you think you can use Orchard without heavily customizing its internals, you will surely benefits a lot. On the other hand, if your project specifications are going to need you to make huge changes to the framework, then I wouldn't advice you to pursue this option.</p> <p>In short, for a seriously big project - don't use Orchard.</p> <p>Unfortunately, I am not aware of any other framework as well written as Orchard to recommend here.</p> <p>Hope this helps!</p>
