I worked with OS Commerce for many years and it is the equivalent of  
eternal damnation.  There will be weeping, wailing, and gnashing of  
teeth.  Much sorrow awaits he who embarks on the path of the OSC.   
Perhaps if you take some drugs before you embarks, it may be a  
different experience.

Magento, very promising, but not ready yet.

I currently opt for building a custom cart.  Usually ends up being  
that anyway.

Good luck.
