This software is not 1 solution fits all, and it also isnt those who shout loudest come first.
I have a very heavily customised store so If i was to upgrade to this latest version, It would take weeks/months even and thousands, But Still If I was running basic the principle is the same, TEST before ruining a stream of your income.Event hen after all testing mistakes can be made
I also have a bricks and mortar store, warehouses etc etc that has outgrown itself many times throughout the years. This is partly down to CS CART and the presence it gives me on the web SO like my earlier post, i thank them for that.
Sure Ive waited years for this new feature, "variants" with stock control/images etc etc, and this is going to help my buisness lots, and will cost me thousands in time, addons, upgrade and effort to upgrade, but me jumping up and down stamping my feet wanting it 5 years ago doesnt help anything.
I test, If it needs something I pay an experienced DEV to develop (which I have done many times here) it or do without, or find something else.
This forum is a great resource, and all I started to say was lets have some balance, and not all be bash bash , I want I want, rubbish rubbish.
We all have our individual needs, lets get a solution that helps everyone
