This is a key issue for Nop future growth. IMHO Nop should have 2 themes: One with a very attractive and flexible design (default) for end users (store owners who download a install their own store), and another very simple for developers. See more details here. Sample products in demo should be changed because some of them look obsolete and outdated.
I agree and I vote Yes.
I think this is one thing that really holds Nop back from becoming mainstream. There are just no good themes that can be applied out of the box.
I would also like to bring once more to your attention the whole "search" thing.
Coming from a relatively unknown php cart I am extremely disappointed with the search functionality of nop.
We have already implemented the hack to automatically search in product descriptions but the results are not nearly as good as those we were getting out of the box in the php cart.
It is like someone made me abandon Google and use the old, horrible, engines like altavista and ask.
Could you please consider implementing a good search functionality in the next release?
I would really like to see automatic order price calculation. We recently implemented this on our 3.1 NopCommerce build. The total price for an order should be automatically calculated when a product has been added or deleted from the back-end. This isn't something that should be done manually. Since the user can easily make a wrong calculation or a typo.
That said, I think this functionality should be in a webshop with cms by default.
