I mostly agree with you, Peter, but maybe that's a little extreme. Case in point, there was a big split a few years ago of the Mambo CMS - which is now split into Mambo and Joomla. Each is going its merry way, but neither is really taking down the other, or taking away from the other. ZenCart is a derivative of OS Commerce, and each is going its merry way as well.
