ERPNext is just using FOSS as a reason for being mediocre. They tick all the feature list that proper ERP may required, none are tested, lots of bugs, most are solved to introduce more bugs. Usability achieved once you know the bugs and start to live with it.

Open source does not come with any warranty. You are welcome to spend your time and fix what you feel is broken, or pay someone for it.

ERPNext has a large and active community with thousands of active installs, and bugs are constantly being fixed and enhancements being pushed.

Unfortunately an ERP system needs time and effort to configure correctly, and what you consider bugs, might just be things that you need your accountant to tell you about.

I can live with the known bugs. I can not live with the new bugs in previously functioning features, just because something somewhere else is changed. Since I believe in FOSS, I’m paying customer since 3 year and going to stick with it. But many many a times our team needs to resort to spreadsheets.

ERP is hard and heroic efforts on you and your team’s part to make it reality. Keep pumping.
