I understand this sentiment. The goal of Forward is different than what you're probably used to in open source e-commerce. We believe open source is ideal for most software, but community-only projects suffer from a lack of central ownership and support. I would adopt more open source solutions if there were professional developer support available. That's our goal here. We want to be there when a developer needs help. No more empty support forums where you have to pray for someone to kindly answer your question. At the same time, if you prefer to just take the code and run, that's fine too, we don't own these ideas :)
