I've had many issues when working with Prestashop. Something as simple as removing the category ids from the URLs was a major pain, there were a few work arounds and one which involved modifying the .htaccess file every time you added a new category. Now this included modifying core files, which made updating PS an issue.

Also importing products was another major let down in Prestashop. Are there was a lot of hacking around the TPL files to get various things working.

I had the same experience with several open source e-commerce projects, sadly. Huge communities but horrible code.

What alternatives would you consider? Big Magento fan here but it takes some hair pulling to understand how to write extensions in the beginning - relatively high learning curve.. It is a bit of an overkill however.
