Well, the answers to your questions depend on which kind of products you
like to sell. Commerce is very flexible, but also a bit more complex
then other shops I think. But I can't really tell, because I only used
commerce so far and didn't have a look at any other Typo3 shop system.

I like the flexibility of commerce, the attribute-stuff is a nice and
handy feature. The handling of products and categories could be better -
but it's ok. A overall flexible import-feature is currently missing.
There is one available from Alex, but it doesn't suite everybody's
needs. I coded a import tool myself, but it's also a bit to specialized
to my customers needs.
