oscommerce nightmare
An article criticizing oscommerce is a nightmare. I could not agree more. I have give up on it long long time ago. The overall structure is a mess. But if you go to freelance site like scriptlance, getafreelancer. You will notice there are still project that requesting oscommerce application. I think prime reason that there are still demand for oscommerce is because customization is cheap. Lot of the customization on osCommerce is done in hack, direct changes to the core source code. It is a nightmare to maintain, not to mention leaving the site owner without a option to upgrade in the future. Leave security holes wide open because patching a customized copy of oscommerce is very time consuming. So a warning to site owner, you might save some money now but in the long run, you will be paying more.
For a better option, you should look at http://www.magentocommerce.com. One of the better structure shopping cart, based on industry standard framework, Zen Framework. Developer complaint about its complexity, but it is a extensible product. Development might be a bit more expensive, but worth it in the long term. The other option that you might consider is http://www.zen-cart.com as mention in the article.
What are you experience in shopping cart software?
