@Oliver - From my observations, a lot of the original ubercart maintainers organized and left ubercart for commerce. Their reasoning is that the original ubercart codebase didn't allow for ideal expansion and customization (& creating an upgrade path to the new proposed system would have been hard, so that is why it split). When these developers left Ubercart, a lot of the issues started stacking up. Hence, why "the development (seemed to) became stagnate. " People are free to roam where they please. They do not have any obligations to anyone. Period. Just because they left doesn't mean it was "collective Ubercart Developers decision to stagnate its development." Rather, there became fewer maintainers, so the issues stacked up. While there was a statement that ubercart would be superceded by commerce in D7, this never officially happend -> since s split amoung the developers formed. So Ubercart was stuck with less developers. Longwave recently became a co-maintainer to Ubercart after a lengthy battle with the Ubercart maintainers (haha jk - but really, yea..). This was the first good sign for Ubercart in a while. Longwave has made a lot of Ubercart add-on modules, so his move into the official Ubercart project was natural. Now that he is helping the other remaining Ubercart developers, it will help make the development of Ubercart less stagnant. We just need to acknowledge & reward committed programmers with module co-maintainer accounts much more often, instead of allowing the "current maintainers" to hold back on sharing (especially if they have left for a substitute or superseding project). Now that Ubercart is slowly improving again, it should have a viable long-term d7 branch.

I wanted to start using Commerce now, but the inability to uninstall it makes this hard. Instead I used Ubercart for D7. Commerce allows you to convert any content type into a product (after-the-fact), vs. ubercart does not. When Commerce has a solution to the uninstall process, I am going to bulk export my ubercart products & then re-import them as Commerce products.

Thank you Ryan for all your hard work!

I think competition is a good thing for Drupal ecosystem to thrive. I have an emotional attachment to Ubercart. I loved it now I have started loving DComerce too. Its like asking to pick between your college sweetheart and your wife, if I may say so :)

But hats off to the Ubercart team to come up with that in the first place. I wish it continues its journey. As for Dcommerce :) It would be very interesting to see where it evolves. I am presuming its gonna be the next kick ass system on Drupal not that Ubercart wasn't .. well you get the point. :)
