I am having strong and rude opinion about magento, a lot of php developers
(To be clear I concern myself as PHP Developer :) are not capable of
extending it right, because magento aparently is written as fully Object
Oriented Software (I noticed that many of "PHP Oriented Developers" In best
case are focused on gruping their functions as static methods in
Ultimate.class,)
So coming back to magento case it is:
- Object Oriented Sofware (Zend)
- Full AJAX client admin (Ext JS)
- Using latest OO technologies from PHP

I did once fail once on Magento Project (Hi Joel :) but over time
perspective (1 year) I know that reason of failing was coming from my
aproach to magento - "Wow, a just better looking osCOmmerce"

I am now revisiting the Magento as whole project by reading documentation
very carefully.
