“This year 39 percent of respondents voted for the winner New
osCommerce Project, an offshoot of the moribund original
osCommerce. This year’s winner is followed closely by CRE Loaded
with 36 percent of respondents. Last year CRE Loaded was far and
away the winner, receiving votes three to one over the second place
program. The original osCommerce maintains its third-place
position, same as last year, but just barely, after receiving only
10 percent of all votes.

“Survey Reveals Greater Industry Fragmentation

“Last year the vast majority of votes went to osCommerce, CRE
Loaded, Zen Cart and osCMAX, and there were virtually no “Other”
votes. This year, only CRE Loaded remains in the top three. Two
newcomers — the New osCommerce Project and Magento — pushed last
year’s second place ties, Zen Cart and osCMAX, off of this year’s
top tier.”
