I can image you saying that... today just got 25 email with updates from the 
developerteam of oscommerce.
Last mailing was a long time ago...
But i am not using the CVS version, just stick to the "milestone".
Oscommerce 2.2 MS runs on php5, if you change one line somewhere  = should 
be  ==
But indeed... not much reasons to say NO NOW to any other opensource 
e-commerce solution.

People holding codebases instead of having it spread over many developers is 
i think one of the most
difficult subject of discussion in the opensource world.
I don;t take sides in it really... both have weak and strong points.

To have another, more wild suggestion is using MAMBOPlus :)
