I think zen cart is a good choice - it’s more advanced than oscommerce If you’re interested in switching to zen cart you can try online service called cart2cart. It automates data migration to zen cart and makes it accurate (www.shopping-cart-migration.com)

I’ve had some experience recently withMagento and have to agree with the general user population. Once installed it’s like a dream. Everything seems to work well, yet just like a dream there are certain things that for no apparent reason get “weird”. Lots of complaints about the order emails not going to admin and other random things you would think would be ironed out. However, it is an excellent product with huge potential and after a bit of education (all available on the magento site) developing a store based on it is quite easy.

Thank you for your opinion. However, I think you need to scrutinize the content of my review and discern “difficulty level” from “effectivity” in a templating system.

I dont agree with this, oscommerce has a very bad implementation of templating resulting in redundant coding of multiple pages from product listing to product detail and checkout. it doesnt give you the ease of making things in one place not like what magento, virtuemart and zendcart has. in part of coding wise oscommerce does not deliver a good class structure since it doesnt have a built on framework that developers can understand and relate to. in part of database structure its not well done and naming conventions was not implemented wisely. so these are the reasons why i think this discussion is faulty.

@Matt
there is a difference between “seems to be working fine” and “working fine to fit the corporate or company business requirements”. Magento DOES provide all the fancy features and astounding user experiences demanded by enterprise shopping carts but it still strives to get around the scalability problem (even after 1.0 release).

this is indeed a tough question to answer. when one wants to improve scalability, in most case he will deteriorate the flexibility deliberately or accidentally.
