Thanks :-) There is no stable release of Plata yet, but it is in use in several shops right now, a few of them have been built by Feinheit, but I know of two other companies which use it for their webshops. The core hasn't changed much in months, and the basic ideas haven't changed for even longer. I'd say even though there is no version 1.0 yet it is ready to build your shops on. The current development version (https://github.com/matthiask/plata branch master) comes without a product model -- the idea is that you write your own because only you know which fields and which behavior is needed. Models for contact information, discounts / vouchers, carts, orders and payment tracking are included as are payment modules for paypal, postfinance and cash-on-delivery. The checkout process is fully managed by Plata, multi-currency shops are supported etc. All of this means that yes, Plata isn't the best option if you want a solution which works fine out of the box. If you anticipate you'll have to customize the shop in several ways, choosing a lightweight option with a small LOC count which solves the hard problems in a reusable way (order tracking, payments, total calculation with taxes and discounts), Plata might be the right choice for you.
