I last worked with osC MS 2.2, and the add-ons/modules that I needed made things difficult. You would have to replace some files, modify others, and the use of a diff/merge program is highly recommended. I find it too much of a hack for the extras that I need to feel comfortable using it.
I currently have Zen Cart 1.3.7 set up and operating. It lacks one or two things that I am interested in, mainly multiple attributes per item/product, yet everything essential is included. The installation of modules is straight forward and easy for the most part. The use of a merge/diff program can be helpful for the occasional module that needs a hack.
I am playing with CubeCart 4.x on one of my own computers for testing, and I do like it. The main thing I don't like about CC is $$ for something not labeled with someone else's copyright notice, or to be able to use it past 30 days. While version 4 is newer than version 3, and lacks some modules because of it, version 4 is a better from the start, and includes features to begin with.
I have installed the pre-configured Joomla offered by my hosting company just a couple days ago, and already am impressed. I downloaded both the VirtueMart package by itself to install on the hosted site, and the complete e-commercial package for my test computer. Both installed with easy. The e-commercial package is a bit more complete as it already has two add-ons (components) included, and the user's front page is better laid out for the e-shop functions. While I am hesitant about spending money for CC I have already laid out a pretty penny for a couple modules for J/VM - and I haven't even finished with the initial configuration, nor reading the manuals. I have been looking for a way to integrate different parts of my vision, such as a blog (evolve), a forum (PostNukem), a live help/chat system (Crafty Syntax), into a shopping cart system (Zen Cart). I do believe I will be investing the time and energy, along with some money, on this - this seems to be very promising.
Just my two cents before taxes, inflation, etc. If you don't value my opinion I do accept refunds.
