We used to use Miva and we got away from it due to licensing costs, poor
customizing, missing features. We have since purchased source for a
FB3 commerce solution and we have added MANY features to it to make it
our own. Now we have a "free" commerce solution that can be deployed
and branded in an hour. Completely customizable. You can sell a lot
more hosting when you do not have the cost of the licensing to contend
with.
