I tend to agree with both of you. Add to cart in the popup is intended as a quick up-sell feature, I think it is a great feature for impulse buying.
However, there are many instances where the merchant needs to control the selections that the customer makes as Jeremy states.
I can think of several solutions to this problem. A simple one would be to change the button text to "See Details" on products that have options, then the redirect to product page would be expected. Another is to exclude products with options from the popup.
The best solution in my opinion would be to include the options right on the page. I know this adds significantly to the overhead, but it seems like it would solve the problem perfectly.
I think pushing the options out to the category pages, and other product lists, is a good idea in general. At least it could be an option in the admin. I know the code exists for allowing product options in the product lists, I have coded a solution for this in the past for a client.
The fact is that X-cart is a complex beast, there are always situations that would be perfect for one merchant, terrible for another. QT has to walk the fine line of trying to please everybody, and they do it remarkably well.
