I think you are asking the wrong crowd and possibly the wrong quesion.
The prime consumers of any eCommerce platform are business users, those who work with inventory, sales, returns etc. If they prefer one package to another, they aren't even going to consider what language it was written in. They plain don't care and they will tell the coder guy which one they want.
- tehwebguy 12y agoAgreed, I don't want to sound like a hater but I think that the product is so much more than just a piece of software. There are also thousands of extensions for Magento. What about looking at the gap in between a PayPal button and something like Magento?
- vonnik 12y agoI think he's asking the right crowd, because the only people who care about whether a platform is in PHP or node.js are other devs. And it's also the right question, because there may be devs who would be better served by a node.js tool than by Magento, which is a bloated and outdated piece of software.
- canterburry 12y agoWhat I am trying to say is that the dev person's preference is one of the least important criteria when a business evaluates an e-commerce package.
- vishalchandra 12y agoYes, business owners have learnt that Shopify is nice and if you need your own solution then Magento is a good way to go forward. We are focused on putting together a community of only 100 Node.js dev teams who have or believe that they will have ecommerce customers open to using Node.js (and only worried about functionality) and are willing to work together to deliver better quality, easier to manage large scalable ecommerce sites. We are the first such dev team, looking for 99 others.
