I actually helped my previous company migrate from Magento to BigCommerce, and found their offering incredibly compelling compared to Shopify. I do think BigCommerce is focused more on medium-sized businesses whereas Shopify is targeted towards smaller businesses or businesses that aren't really focused on their e-commerce side. My favorite feature of BigCommerce was the ability to run the site locally for development, using live product data from the site. I even made a few open source contributions to that framework, which was a nice change of pace compared to Magento development.
