There are a few things we really liked about Magento and couldn’t resist incorporating into our Magnum line - using our own code of course - as osCommerce code and Magento code is like throwing Ketchup on cake. It doesn’t go well together.
Anyhow, the 4 front-end features we really liked are:
1. Subscribe to RSS Feeds feature
Real nice!
2. Product image zoom with double click
Also very nice. Seems to work well with real large product images.
3. Ability for users to add tags
I liked this too. Very Web 2.0!
4. Switch between Grid view and List view
This is a switch CREloaded has in the admin already. But Magento is right. This shouldn’t be for the admin. Let the user pick their favorite view. The ones who are allergic to grid, can go with list view and vice versa.
There is actually one more feature which will be seen in Magnum products and can be seen in Magento and some other carts also which is the “recently viewed products” feature.
Note that none of these features are currently offered in any CRE version.
