Hi, I'm currently using open source Magento for a shop. Has anyone here moved from Magento to Open Cart? If so can you tell me your experiences or if anyone can simple let me know there thoughts? I need to start another shop soon and am thinking of trying a different setup.

Cheap response: Anything is better then Magento! ;D

Serious: If OC offers what you need you will see that it is like a breeze of fresh air.

Magento is bloated worse than a beached blue whale that's been baking in the sun for 2 weeks. ;D

There are cheap responses but I guessed that Open Cart was less "bloated" than Magento.. So has anyone officially moved from Magento to open cart and can they tell me if they miss anything in favor of Magento or what are the plus sides of Open Cart?

The better question and one that you have not answered is:

Why are you wanting to move to begin with? You want a different setup? Are you not liking the magento setup?O0

Well as I said in my original question I have a new store lined up for someone, And I liked the look of Open Cart so wanted to get some feedback... If any about some experiences of anyone who has maybe come from Magento to Open Cart?

Although Magento seems goods. I felt I wanted to have a look at some others. :)

well. I have tried magento(not a live shop), and it was way too slow in loading pages even if I used VPS... rumor has it that if you pay magento with much much of your hard earned money to buy a commercial verion, it is gonna be really fast.
It is a malicious trick, I guess. Anyway, I swore I would never use magento after I tried it. Community version is god damn slow!!!
Opencart is one of the most fastest and user friendly open source cart I have ever seen.
