is OSCommerce any good?

I'm looking for a shopping cart.

Oscommerce (and it's derivatives) are obviously the first ports of call. After visiting some forums, though, there's nothing but scorn .. "why anyone would want to use OScommerce is beyond me?"

reasons generally given are ... duplicate content, poor coding design (which affects spidering), and difficult to customise

anyone got an OSCommerce site ... and how's it going?

quite a good site there The_KID

I see you are using MOD Re-write too... nice

How easy it to maintain? like, put new products in, and print invoices etc.

I'm looking at Zen too, it's looks not bad, not bad at all.

Except the template I want to base it on, doesn't render properly in IE and all the text disappears (FFS!!)

those couple of sites above look quite neat. - very smart indeed.

I had a look at the code, though, and there's reams of it. All those tables and stuff .. i am more used to CSS and <div> coding.

I think I'm going to use Zen Cart, as its templates support CSS.
