I will still improve some TYPO3 shop extension and will not use Magento. 
  A TYPO3 extension can be better integrated into TYPO3 than an external 
system.

TYPO3 forces all frontend extensions into the pi_base class. IMHO there 
is no alternative API possible for TYPO3 extensions at the moment. TYPO3 
could also be improved to offer an API for third party calls.

Magento is a _whole CMS_ like TYPO3, not only a shop. So you have to 
also rewrite all other TYPO3 extensions for it.
