They work, but like you say, the code is, well, shall we say, less than elegant? We've also run into the problem that once you have made your own custom osCommerce setup with a proper appearance ( Code and markup are not seperated at all, it's a big, ugly mess ), it's quite difficult to backport security fixes. I have "write a proper webstore application" on my long list. There are no good alternatives, sadly because most are A: forks of osCommerce or B: not updated in months.
