Default Re: Tired of how X-Cart handles product options?

I agree with somekindahate -- I sell makeup. I may have a single product that comes in 11 colors. I don't need a different description for the 11 colors - and the fact that I can have unique thumbnail images for each color variant is good --

Please tell me how/why you feel I need to change the paradigm, as you say in your video.

BTW, very nice presentation... but I am not understanding (from a merchant perspective) why the current parent/child relationship for variants needs ot be redone. As you said in your presentation, the entire world does it this way (including amazon, gap, old navy, etc...) Especially for clothing or makeup or other items where the item is essentially identical, with only the color or size changing.

Please enlighten me. What benefit will your module bring that we don't already have? What was your motivation to re-invent this? What specificaly do you find missing from the parent/child metaphor?

Thanks,

Jeremy
