  I really suggest this awesome addon. This addon can almost make any type of addon, even if you don't know coding, and it is easy to use. Words are not enough to describe this addon. Keep up the good work :D

  This is the best addon to create addons, it's just a piece of art. I have been using for months and it's great!

  Fantastic addon! After 2 weeks of use, I'm extremely happy with the addon, despite a few minor bumps.Review Preface: I'm somewhat amateur with Python but a lifelong programmer, and have developed a few small addons in the regular Python Blender scripting before trying this addon.PROS:- Interface/Layout (5/5): Setting up interface elements couldn't be easier. I found this such a cumbersome process in python and it's extremely nice to be able to very quickly iterate and try different layouts and develop the exact UX/UI you want.- Comprehensive Blender API functionality (4/5): There is nothing you can't do with this add-on that Blender Python scripting can do, and much of it is a lot easier and quicker, and it organizes, packages and exports your addons very cleanly. There is some odd obfuscation of certain very simple tasks that took me a little bit more time searching through the documentation (WATCH THE VIDEO SERIES here: https://www.youtube.com/@blanchsb) to figure out, but it's ALL there, and you can always run pure python functions if needed.- Ease of Use/Learning Curve (4/5): It's extremely easy to learn how to setup your interface and do lots of simpler tasks, but when it comes to some more advanced functionality, searching through and understanding the Blend Data window and how to utilize it is quite daunting at first but becomes a easier once you're well acquainted with it.- Price: (5/5) $24 is well worth it and I foresee myself using this add-on for any python scripting in the future.CONS:- Some crashes and instability still, but there is major improvement in this area recently on Blender 4.0.1 and Serpens 3.3.2.- Obfuscation: Especially with a few very simple and common tasks, if you're coming from a lack of programming experience, or very experienced, you might struggle with Serpen's methodology a bit. This could be my lack of python specific experience, but for example I struggled to figure out how to perform equality operations and had to ask in the discord, the node I was looking for is "Compare," used for all ==,!=, <, > equality operations. Why it doesn't show up under a node search for "Equals, Equal to" or "==", etc. is baffling to me but hey the discord is very friendly and helpful :)Take these cons with a grain of salt though, and buy this addon!

  The documentation is stored using notion so that it cannot be read using the browser translation function, which is very difficult for non-English speaking users.
  Documentation is not up to date and some of the nodes shown in the images are no longer available.
  Some nodes are not available at all, such as Frame
  I'm familiar with UE blueprints and have basic experience with Blender, but this plugin is as difficult to use as all the other node features of Blender, maybe it's not the plugin's fault that I seem to need to understand Blender's internal APIs first, whereas UE blueprints have no such problems at all
  I can use UE blueprints with almost nothing more than a little basic programming common sense, and this plugin doesn't, and I can't see at all what any of the nodes in this plugin's functionality can do

  Notion isn't ideal for translation but there are browser extensions to still translate it.
  The documentation is up to date, you might be on an old version of the addon if it's not. If you find any issues please report them.
  Frames are available, not sure where you're getting that from.

  For the difficulty, Serpens is meant to help you understand the blender API. There is some abstraction, but you still need to learn some things. The more experience you have with blender, the easier it should be to pick up. There's also plenty of videos and help in the discord for specific issues.

  Before I begin my review, you need to understand why this add-on is really great for me. Back in Jan 2019 I had a major stroke. I lost all my freelance clients and can no longer work. I have neuropathy in my hands so I look for add-ons that will drastically cut back on my hand/mouse use. I currently can only use a drawing tablet to replace my mouse. So, now I only do Blender as a hobby. Anyways (to shorten the story).

  I made an addon called "Quick Tasks" back before my stroke, doing it all by code. However, after the stroke (pain in hands) I could not do a lot of typing in reasonable time. So, I went looking for an addon that I could make "Quick Tasks" over again, but it was simpler to use.

  I found PME, and that worked okay at the start, but had its quirks and limitations. But, I decide to find something else as the dev stopped working on it and it hasn't been updated for several years now. In come Serpens!!!

  It is a node based system to develop addons. It took me a while to get use to node-based converting from code. Things work a little differently. But, once I got used to the things I wanted to do, I re-developed my "Quick Tasks" addon. This addon save me multitudes of clicking in the Blender interface. I was about to bring function in Blender that was 3-4 clicks deep to 1 or 2 clicks.

  The only issues I found with Serpens is the constant crashing of Blender and not being able to use UNDO a lot. I guess its a Blender/memory thing and Serpens can't do anything about it.

  Anyways, I really like Serpens and would recommend it to anybody, even if its just to make your tasks easier.
