I agree. And if I end up working with a small client with a minimal budget, and they don't mind the out-of-the-box configuration, maybe I'd use X-Cart again.
But I've spent probably 40-50 hours on this site so far just getting X-Cart installed and modified for functionality, and haven't even
started customizing the look and feel.
I've already told the client that after the site is launched, forget about upgrades, because it'll be too cost-prohibitive to go back and upgrade by hand.
So unless I get a low-end client that doesn't mind the site looking like X-Cart, this will probably be the last time I use it. And that's truly a shame, as the software itself just rocks.
