FUTURE... let's talk about it.. that's what we all love to hear at the end of tunnel. Yeap. there's always light at the end of tunnel, no matter what some say.....
CS CART ... It looks like we all want to move on to something new, exciting, working solution and make money and provide our best to our families. I know we are still "hanging on" with some ISC features and I think it's just a matter of time when those are available in some other cart - or let some programmer to do it. I have been experimenting with their Pro edition (trial) and going to go for Ultimate with 10 store fronts. I have plans to go for 50-100 storefronts where we are finally able to centralize our business and shipping with 600 representatives and 90 countries. IF...and once more IF that works like they claim. It's going to be something great for any company. Backend is nice, available templates are ok and easy to understand how their cart works. Admin functions are ok. There's still plenty of ways to make it easier and give some more tools ..no doubt. I will post news about this Ultimate - multistore system when we get it running. My company and staff are excited about it and so are our representatives who finally can concentrate to sell and promote than maintaining website and battle with all kinds of stupid cart based problems. Time will tell how it all goes but thumbs up to CS Cart.
MAGENTO - Fast, lots of tools available for additional price which is good. Lots of ready modules and addons available. Back end was messy to me but after spending some 2-4 hours with it all started to look good. I think what keep shopkeepers away from Magento is the backend and configuration how it works. It's not the easiest - I have to admit. Lots of templates which makes it easier to find the right template and do some changes & custom graphics. Good choice to someone for sure.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I wish prosperous times and future to all of you finding the best possible cart. Last but not least...I'm going to get that cocktail under the palm tree right after pressing SUBMIT
