How is Shopify as a platform to work on compared to the likes of Wordpress and Salesforce Commerce Cloud.

Pretty bad.

With Shopify you can't run anything locally, it's all in their cloud. So you're constantly typing CSS into a textbox in a web site. Also pretty much every Shopify plugin ("app") costs $5 or $10 per month which adds up fast. Wordpress plugins are pretty money hungry too but it's much worse on Shopify.

It's ok if you're just making small tweaks to a theme that is already 80% of what you need.

Wait isn't there something called Hydrogen framework by Shopify. I thought it ran locally.

Yeah I remember there being a way to use a local IDE but no way to do a local development environment.
