If you list Zen Cart, you might want to mention ZenMagick. It's an object oriented mod that replaces the zen cart storefront with a simpler, more concise system.
In addition, ZenMagick plugins do work without patching files, there is a rule based validation framework, and more.
Furthermore, the upcoming (pre Christmas) release 0.9.8 will be available as either mod (installable on top of any existing zen cart) or as full installer.
The full installer will include a zen cart 1.3.8a base, including security patches. Also, it will work with PHP5.3
