Best version to develop Magento Ecommerce websites

Being a store owner myself, I strongly believe Magento 2 is the best version available for eCommerce store development. I got my Magento 2.0 powered store developed recently and it has been a seamless experience so far. Magento 2 offers significantly improved scalability and it is quicker, flexible, easier and safer than its previous versions. However, if you are a newbie I would always suggest you to assess all the other options as well considering your requirements, budget, scale of business, etc., before deciding upon a version.
Here are few links to some helpful resources that I feel can help you get a better idea about Magento 2.

Yeah great information. I think Magento has lots of outstanding features, such as security updates, responsive theme updates, functionality box fixes, improve performance, etc. You can see detailed at Magento 1 vs. Magento 2
So, if merchants are running Magento 1, i think its time to upgrade Magento 1.x to magento 2. You can find Magento 1 to magento 2 migration tool to help you upgrade without losing URL, custom field, etc.
