I think you guys are missing the point. Is Drupal comparable to vBulletin? Not to me.. Drupal is a community CMS solution, vBulletin is a community forum. I think Drupal is FAR more powerful than vBulletin as far as creating community driven websites, but the forum definitely lacks compared to vB.
The point of the article is that vB is expensive, and very dated.. even FREE options can be more effective for some people. Let's face it, most vB users are drawn to the social networking features, right? Well, same with Drupal.. This is probably the reason why the two are compared in this article.
As for people complaining without taking the time.. Drupal is far more frustrating and time consuming if you really want to customize it. You could spend days on a module set up and then find something different that works better, you could spend days trying to find a module, and you can spend days in your template.php file if you're as picky as I am with source code.. I usually finally just give up being picky and settling with what I have when it comes to Drupal.
