In your first post you were saying you couldn't see why people thought the script was 'so amazing' and in your next post you say

There is a difference, here. If it's the colour scheme you don't like then that's totally understandable as it's utterly subjective (though it's scientific fact that there are rules you can apply to combinations of colours to produce results which are preferred by more people).
And you might not like the way some things are laid out, and the same applies.
In both of these cases, it's possible to change these style elements of the site as they're cosmetic.
Your first post criticising the script, however, implies that you don't like the way it works and this is difficult to understand since it's so much better than vB. Still a subjective opinion, yes, but come on!

I don't want to fight either, but posting unqualified criticism is likely to provoke a response, don't you think?

Agreed. Latch criticised more than the style, though.

I also understand how some people might not know or appreciate the history of Kier, Mike and Scott. They were the key developers who were responsible for making vBulletin the world class software it was.
They have lots of loyalty for that reason. So when there is much fuss about what is happening at Xenforo, for many people, myself included, what we are seeing here is, in fact, what vB4 *could* have been if the trio and the other developers, being the most valuable asset of Jelsoft the company, had been used wisely by the new management. Instead Internet Brands did the worse thing possible and elbowed them out of the door. Scott has taken a different career path, but Kier and Mike have done what they do best, and in my opinion better than anyone else. And that is make forum software.
I hope this explains why many peoples' loyalty lies over at Xenforo even though, like me, their business currently depends on vBulletin.
Now can't we all be friends?
