I have spent THOUSANDS of dollars with seasoned PHP Professionals to try to make this travesty of an application work, paid X-cart hundreds of dollars to fix their own product, and it's still the worst piece of shit ever. Everyone agrees. ANYONE wanting to use this product. I BEG you to shoot yourself in the face and then burn every dollar you own. You will save time, money and headaches.

I believe they are much much better than the osCommerce days. My personal opinion of Magento is quite high. I believe they are much much better than the osCommerce days.

It is very powerful, but it needs a heavy server, and can be quite difficult to customize. Templating is not as easy as you'd hope. Also, Magento is overkill if all you want is a small shop.

This is in their roadmap though, so you may want to take a look to see when it will be available.

It takes forever to do alot of the things that only take a few seconds with Magento and it needs many addons to look somewhat respectable. We’re in the process of switching to Magento and I must say it’s the best thing we’ve ever done. Design wise and architecturally it’s the best thing we’ve ever done for our business (assaultshirts.com) Should only take me a few weeks what took me months with OSCommerce. Big ups to bigcartel too, they’ve got a great thing going there. I’ve been using OSCommerce for years and I’m sorry to say it’s days are numbered.

Takes a LOT of time to learn, although best interface all around.

We use Interspire’s shopping cart and it takes about 2 hours to integrate a template, so a lot quicker. We’ve worked with Magento, X-Cart, OsCommerce, but Interspire is the winner for us. What prompted this write up of Magento anyway? Seems like a marketing ploy disguised as a blog about free templates. FYI Interspire ship with over 50 free (and much better quality) templates out of the box. Magento templates really are a nightmare.

If it was faster and lighter it would be great. I think they need to go back and refactor a lot of the code.
