I understand what you are saying but then again osCommerce could have starting making the move to PHP5 (like slowly changing the code to work with it. Ie. not using http_request_vars(which I believe doesn't work in PHP5) among other things) so that when PHP4 does came to end of life that osCommerce would already be ahead of the game.
Sure I can understand a program that isn't actively developed but osCommerce development is very active as is CubeCart. One of the problems is with 3rd party stuff as mentioned before as 3rd party stuff may not be as active in development.
