To be fair, some commercial systems suck on UX too, but some of them are much better than this.
If you compare it to eposnow[0] for instance, and see the adoption of large clear buttons.
The real differences, as I see it, between this and commercial systems are
1) most commercial tills are clients that poll a server that allows central management of stock, prices, and extraction of sales data by api
2) commercial tills can integrate with card machines, so the price comes up on the machine automatically, and successful payments are registered on the till. In a busy store this stops under/over errors.
The world needs a decent, hackable, open source till, because there are many situations where you need small but important extra features. Without the above I would say appeal is going to be limited, but good luck to the author
