Well, in case of designing dynamic websites using core OOP concepts this framework is perfect. However, in case of integrating with web services and other API's and developing features for Android apps this might not be a good product.

X-cart uses Smarty Templates in a PHP environment which means there are many developers who could probably pick it up relatively quickly to provide new features. The smarty template engine is very robust and well documented, and the cost of x-cart is very low which makes it easy for anyone to get started with their e-commerce business. It is a really great e-commerce software and suitable for every business. I actually cannot find any serious objection to what it does. They regularly update it, add new features, fix flaws, offer support. The software itself offers many integrations for shipping and payments, everything you need for sales. Although it covers many things, there will always be something missing, because many things happen in between customer visit and final delivery. Therefore, if you plan to expand your business, also plan to expand your X-Cart - but do not worry, it won't be hard.

Pros
Pofi Technologies
  • Version Controlling - It's on the top of my list that Laravel does great as its built-in features.
  • As Laravel supports OOP concept, so it has made it much more easier for developers to developer apps in most recent languages.
  • It supports a huge collection of free extensions which are easy available in its store.
  • It supports a large number of latest programming languages.

  • For everyone. From small to huge business you get everything out of box. Just setup company details, payment and shipping methods and you are ready to go.
  • Upgradable. There are many plugins one can integrate with X-Cart. Over time, many of them became part of the software, and you are one click away to enable them.
  • Well organized code. It uses Smarty template engine, which I find great, specially for debugging (famous Webmaster mode).

Cons
Pofi Technologies
  • In some cases developers need to integrate with third party apps. Laravel E Commerce needs to improve it in the form of a single package.
  • It consumes a lot of system resources and sometimes gets stuck if multiple projects are open.
  • Finding error is this framework is a quite difficult task. This mechanism needs to be improved.

  • Creating new plugins the way X-Cart wants is maybe not complicated, but hard to implement because there are no hooks. One has to manually change each file. This is similar to patching the core and therefore one has to know basics of web development.
  • Even if you get everything styled correctly with base skin, there is a bunch of unused styles you have to cope with. Start skin should be much cleaner. You may find thousands excess lines of code.

  • Flexibility in presentation as well as functionality
  • Full open source software allows for unlimited possibilities with the store function, though some developers who create modules do encode their modules which have errors in their code which therefore can't be fixed
  • A fully functional professional level application at a fraction of the cost of similar applications such as magento.
