Is Ubercart still relevant now that Drupal maintenance support plans 6 has reached EOL?

In this day and age where Drupal maintenance support plans 8 is all the rage and while contemplating an end-of-life Drupal maintenance support plans 6 Ubercart Store upgrade to Drupal maintenance support plans 7 or 8, I wondered if Ubercart was still a relevant alternative? Because if it was, then Ubercart 6.x store owners wishing to upgrade would not have just one but two options to choose from, two chances to find the right fit.

My initial thought was, let’s go with the flow and migrate to Drupal maintenance support plans Commerce. The main reason behind my sheepish logic: Commerce is the de facto go-to e-commerce platform.
Then, another side of me argued that Commerce’s dominance is somewhat artificial and really stems from the fact that commerce-talk dominates the techno buzz channels, grabbing most of the spotlight and in so doing is casting other potential solutions in the gloomy shadows of quasi-oblivion…
In this article, I will share my experience about a recent project for a small town hockey association which, for the past 5 years, has been relying on a Drupal maintenance support plans 6 Ubercart 2.x website to automate seasonal registrations for its 350 hockey players. With Drupal maintenance support plans 6 now defunct (EOL) and no security team* to provide the required assurance that credit card transactions would be safe, there was little choice but to upgrade at least to Drupal maintenance support plans 7 before registration could start.
