When comparing joomla with virtuemart and magento, in general:

- Most of all magento features is also available in virtuemart
- Virtuemart have alot of plugins that will make vm more powerful
- there's a lot of joomla templates with can beat magento design too.
For the first sight actually everyone loves magento features (that actually not available natively on vm), in particular, There are few more features that Magento has and virtuemart doesn't. For example those cool promotions like buy "5 items, pay for 4" etc,

however, magento is very good script but is new , virtuemart has a very big community and you can find solution to any problem or modification + they are hundreds joomla templates.

Furthermore, every one complains that Magento is real good but is slower due to its architecture and needs also more Resources.

Thus, at this stage, I will go with Virtuemart, a great extension of Joomla with lot plugins and support.
