Hmm. I think most of the people who use these readymade platforms aren't technical people, so PHP works as it is easier to understand, deploy and manage.
Even for technical people, if I was looking for a readymade solution, I wouldn't really care if its build on PHP or node. But if I was building something specialized which needed to scale to huge amounts of traffic, I'd start from scratch with something like Node.js.
Also, look at Opencart. It isn't too bad.
- qhoc 13y agoMaybe it's not the problem with PHP but most shopping cart built on PHP was dated back 4-5 years. They are too lazy to simplify it. When Magento came out, I thought that was it. But it's getting bloated like anything else. If someone wanted to have a simple responsive design site and image zoom capability, it's multiple steps (install, get add-on, fix templates... ). Anything out of the box these days are just not needed or lack of latest features. I think with node.js/sails/mongodb as backend and Bootstrap/AngularJS as frontend, things could be simplified 100x. I had heck of a time just to find which Magento file to modify the template for left menu...
