They will need more manpower to make new add-ons.
Kier said they would move to 4.0 development after 3.7, which would be the last major 3.x version. I'm very impressed by what they accomplished, but I can still think of some features vB 3.x needed. Overall the 3.x branch wasn't developed to its full potential, and vB.com suggestion's forum has thousands of good suggestions.
I don't know Jelsoft sales figures, but if they can only hire 5 developers maybe it's not too much. (yet hopefully)
Looking back, I expected vBulletin would have more stuff by now. More stuff for the end user, from an admin standpoint I think vBulletin is perfect. (edit: also from a coding and coder standpoint)
Also looking back when 3.5 was released, I thought there was going to be many more quality mods by now than it has. Maybe it's me and I'm expecting too much, I know better by now.
So Marco, don't expect too much.
