Joomla has been my CMS of choice for some time now and when working on a clients site, speed is of the essence so long as quality is not compromised. The fact that this component is so simple is what makes it so special and so efficient.

I managed to create over 1,500 pages on a clients site in a matter of days rather than weeks.

For future development I would advise looking at creating something for 3rd party extensions such as VirtuMart. High volume store owners would most definitely be prepared to put their hand in their pocket for something like this if it could edit all variables such as price, stock volume etc.

Well done on a fantastic component, the fact that someone has already stated it should be included within the core Joomla set up is a true reflection of what you have achieved.

Many thanks
Chris
