I've been using WooCommerce for years and love it!
I've been using WooCommerce for years, it's fantastic as a free working out the box eCommerce platform. What some people don't seem to understand is that Woocommerce is as good or bad as the WordPress Theme you're using, that's no fault of WooCommerce. I use OxygenBuilder exclusively, with their WooCommerce extension. There's a big learning curve with WooCommerce if you've never used it before, take the time to learn before trashing it. Getting to grips with product variations, shipping zones & classes, payment processors, etc etc takes a bit of time and patience. All of these things can be found on Youtube. If you're seriouse about creating your own eCommerce platform, it's well worth up skilling yourself. There's an even bigger learning curve with Oxygen Builder, but they have excellent tutorials and video guides. Building a good looking fluid WooCommerce store has never been easier, and the ability to customise every aspect of the shop, product, cart, checkout and my account pages is awesome. Woocommerce itself is free, however if you want more functionality, WooCommerce as well as many other providers have lots of plugins to use. For example I needed to manage multicurrency for one store, so I purchased a Multicurrency management plugin from ThemeForrest, and it works great. Other then that I'm using Woocommerce out the box. Most of the time the issues one has with getting ones store looking the way one wants it is to do more with the theme being used then with WooCommerce.
