Very fair and professional review Mike! We're certainly considering offering AdminPraise as a standalone purchase, along with all of our other templates, those our asking price may be a bit higher than you suggest 
We tested w/several 3rd party ext (JEvents, JCal, PonyGallery, RSGallery, VirtueMart), but you're right, JCE is a mess in AP 
, we're be working on those bugs and new features now.

Hi Tobias, thanks for the comment. What's the reason for your distaste with Virtuemart? To be honest I haven't used it extensively, but I've heard good things. My main point is that I'd love to see Joomla bring everything under one umbrella to show off its power.

Kyle, thanks for coming by. I definitely think that AdminPraise could be more than I suggested, but no higher than $50 I'd say.
Glad to hear that you're continuing to work on the template and plan to get it working well with JCE, it's such a widely used editor that compatibility is almost a necessity.

From what I can tell, VirtueMart is the best ecommerce solution available for Joomla. It seems to work pretty well out of the box, but once you start to play with it a bit, it can get pretty finicky. Getting it to work and look the way we want it has become enough of a headache that we try to avoid it now, but there aren't really any good alternatives.
