I agree with the principle of not reinventing the wheel. But if we follow it too closely, there would not be a Firefox, a Linux, or even Symfony.
I think an ecommerce platform on top of Symfony would be great. As someone said, symfony offers lots of features to build a platform like this, and I think it could do better than others, including Magento, which has tons of features, but it is slow and complex.
