Maybe they should do those weekly updates and patches like one of the major operating system makers out there?
I just don't think a year between major updates is all that unusual.
I used to work for a major metrology company who made it policy to release two major upgrades to their flagship software each year. Wanna talk about a mess? As one of the engineers that had to support that software, I can't even begin to tell you how much pain was felt by both the support team and, more importantly, the end user.
I'll wait another year for a solid release if necessary. As it stands right now, 3dcart offers me an ecommerce solution that far exceeds the capabilities of those that attempt to compete with them.
OK. Putting my pompoms away now.
