I already use vbadvanced. And its basically the same difference. Either way I'm going into the AdminCP and creating something new over and over and over.

I want to have actual filed pages with my content and not have to additionally go into vb to make them function.

Its not going to happen, but say tomorrow a black hole sucks vbulletin and all of its tables out of my database. All my content will be lost too. I know doing it all via templates and modules is suppose to be the "modern day webmastering" way of doing it, but I don't want to.

My plan is, to have my pages built with 3 parts.
1. An included file to create the top of my pages. (ie, metas, vb requirements, etc.)
2. The actual content of the pages.
3. An included file to create my footer and close out tags of my pages.

Again, this way if vbulletin vanishes, all I have to do is make a simple edit to my included "top" and my included "footer" and all my pages of content are still functioning happily ever after.

I have no plans to ever leave VB, nor do I think VB is ever going to go away since it just keeps advancing more and more, but at the same time, I plan to make a huge beast out of my website, and I don't want my little world revolving around someone else's script.

Feel where I'm coming from?
