I added:

The use of vbCMS is preferred because of the following existing functionality. If another CMS would be chosen then this functionality would need to be included:

• CkEditor for users and admin side
• Infractions & moderation tools
• Reputation
• CMS widgets
• New entries & comments in 'What's New'
• Searchable with vb search engine / Sphinx
• Subscribe to entry
• Tags
• Usergroup permissions
• Use of vb attachment system

vbulletin still uses YUI2 for the most part, which was released in February 2006 and outdated since the release of YUI3. Utilizing jquery allows for many modern subtle effects:
- sliding rating stars
- instead of opening a new page to enter a new review, just load the entry fields within the page with a fade-in effect like jreviews does. (login to jreviews: user&pass= demo)
- when submitting a review or comment let it fade or slide in.
- once a button is no longer needed, just let is fade out, instead of requiring a new page load or a popup.

Personally I think that ZK Direct Ria and Sencha are the best thing since sliced bread, but that may be pushing it.

Both.
