Sure, I don't expect it to happen in 3.x. It's definitely a non-trivial task! But IMHO if it isn't in the Top 3 list of essential changes for 4.0, then Jelsoft need to be re-evaluating their priorities.

If they really want to move vB out of the purely "forum" space and establish itself as a fully featured "community" app, with social networking, blogging, heavy weight profiles, etc. they are going to have to do something about the look and feel. Without moving to CSS driven styling, it's always going to be a clunky, inflexible, hard to restyle forum app with some stuff bolted on to it.

This isn't a religious opinion. I'm not one of the "Give me CSS or give me death!" brigade. I'm just a realist who loves vB and wants to see it move with the times.
