Default E-Commerce Question - Magento

Has anyone setup a site using Magento community version? Magento - Home - eCommerce Software for Growth

I installed it the other day, which I have to say was the easiest PHP install I've ever done, and have been playing around with it. It seems very easy to manage, customize, and has a lot of features.

I'm wondering what the down side is

I have been dealing with Magento since very early versions, and have done about 25 sites, and fixed many more. If you have any questions, feel free.

I love Magento, but as far as downfalls... the learning curve is kind of steep for heavier modifications, and can sometimes get confusing. It has some little annoyances, like I hate the way it handles image enlargement, but all in all the benefits by far outweigh the downfalls.

Good luck with it.
