WordPress + GetShopped.org
New Zealand solution.
Kick ass.
Never have to scare your customer by showing them a drupal admin
interface.
Magento is hard to get your head around and hard to custom theme. At
least that's what people tell me.
Go getshopped.org

Magento is a great shopping cart system. It might be hard to work
with if you are not familiar with Zend Framework or OOP, but not
impossible.
With Magento you will never need to hack the core files. If anything
in the core files that you don't like its easy to extend it.
Files structure
app/
core/ ----> core classes you don't touch
local/ ----> your custom classes that overrides or
extends core classes
community/ ----> custom code from Magento community
design/
default/ ----> default design and you can add more folders
for your custom templates
With the templates you are not limited with one template contains
everything a page will have, but its based on blocks. Everything is
a block even the main layout. For example you would have
/design/default/checkout/cart/summary.phtml
If you want to just customize the look of the cart summary then you
can create
/design/my_custom_design/checkout/cart/summary.phtml
and in a config xml file you define the new template. Also you can
choose to show the custom design in all pages or some.
Thats just some of the features
Hope I helped :)
