It may be worth pointing out that feature wise, 3.6 has so many more features than 2.0 that it needs a lot less 'hacks' for it. It is also worth mentioning that modifications have matured with vB and there is a lot steeper of a learning curve for people wanting to accomplish simple modifications to the site. This is good and bad. It is bad because you see fewer numbers of modifications, but good because they are generally better, require little to no file modifications and far more sturdy overall.

So, there may be fewer modifications, but IMO they are generally better and simpler for users to maintain (remember the good ole days of upgrading a heavily hacked board before the plug in system!). Show me something you could do in a hacked board in 2.0 that you cant achieve in 3.6?
