VirtueMart
Virtuemart WAS a great eCommerce component - unfortunately this new version is so different to the older version it is unrecognisable.

The support forum is a mess. Beware that selecting your version before starting does not mean that the answers are applicable.

Many of the common bugs remain unanswered months later - including "Guest checkout" which has me stumped. Unfortunately the articles that rank so highly in Google do not provide solutions - after months of looking.
How to change the 'required' form fields is another problem unanswered.

Documentation is non existent - more than a year since release.

Version 1.1 was great and version 2 is very disappointing.

I realise this is a non-commercial release and I appreciate the work done - but this has turned from an excellent first choice tool that I had confidence to support to a product that feels like it was designed by a government committee - and is is now somewhere between a nightmare and useless. (unfortunately)

Version 1.1 had minor issues - ALL I knew how to work around or solve. I would have preferred to see a professional version released (that I even paid for) than this.

such a shame

We are sincerely saddened by your lack of confidence on VM2. The volume of features, increased security and general code that has gone into VM2 is staggering, if you read what some others say about VM2 they differ greatly from your unfortunate experience, whilst we believe VM2 is better than many paid solutions, you must consider this is a free product that grows from great feedback like yours, thank you!

File download tracker
Simple but great. Worked out the box for me and my enquiries for additional form fields to support were answered in real time. Thats the sort of product and support I like. GREAT work keep it up.

KO Custom Gift Card
this is a unique product (one that took a long time to find). I had a unusual need that wasn't 'out the box' and the support to make it work was/is exceptional and not far off realtime.

Contact Enhanced Component
This component is excellent and well worth the few dollars spent. Should be part of the core. More importantly the support is fantastic. Its a pleasure to use a component when you know that there's someone there to back you up. Highly Recommended.

VM Registration Redirect
Thank you. Such a simple idea yet implemented seamlessly. Thanks for your effort it works wonders - and should be part of teh VM install.
