copied!<p>osCommerce is one of those products that was badly designed from the beginning, and becomes basically unmaintainable as time moves forward. Addons are patches, and custom code modifies core. (Unless things have drastically changed since I last looked at it - judging by the version numbers, they have not). </p> <p>While probably at a bit higher level than you seem to be asking, Drupal is a very attractive platform. It is a CMS at its base, and using <a href="http://drupal.org/project/ecommerce" rel="noreferrer">ecommerce</a> or <a href="http://www.ubercart.org/" rel="noreferrer">Ubercart</a> you can turn it into a store. With modules like <a href="http://drupal.org/project/cck" rel="noreferrer">CCK</a> and <a href="http://drupal.org/project/views" rel="noreferrer">Views</a> you can build very sophisticated ecommerce sites (specialized product types, attributes) with very little coding, plus you get all the CMS tools (editing, access control, etc) for free. If you write your own modules, you can hook into almost anything in Drupal without touching the core code, and you get a ton of flexibility. </p> <p>Though a lot of developers may not consider it simply because they're stuck in this view that they should write something from scratch, Drupal is a really great development platform for this sort of thing. There is definitely a learning curve to it, especially when you need to write modules for it, but the time it takes to learn and implement a site is still probably less than writing a very customized ecommerce site from scratch.</p>
