Default Magento - Anyone use this cart yet?

There is a new cart that just launched. Looks like it's built on Rails. (but I'm not sure)

Has anyone used this yet?

You're right, it's a nice looking cart.

It's only just been released, so I'd definitely give it some time before I jumped on the bandwagon. Keep your ear to the ground to see how things are going.

it's full-featured and reasonably fast too, plus it looks like it's pretty much good to go right out of the box.

It's designed to run on Linux or Unix though, will run on Windows servers but there appear to be some issues.

Check out their forums and read through the user posts to see if there are any concerns you might want to be aware of.

This is probably the most outstanding eCommerce GNU application available today. IMHO.

The main negative I have heard is there are some very specific server configuration requirements.

If you use mxhub as a server they will load it up on the server for you, and its not like its particularly expensive. (mxhub.com) - I don't own the company, but check it out for yourself and see how it might meet your needs!

We actually used Magento a lot. We have a team of dedicated Magento developers, you should check this out: Magento development | Inchoo

This is by far the best open source e-commerce solution out there!

Magento is of course a very impressive and functional solution. But you'll most likely (at least according to many testimonials) need to invest some extra money in a hosting and at least purchase a high-quality VDS.
