I code for both vB and XF. And I can give you two very good reasons why many coders don't code for vB anymore...

They do not have the ability to post/advertise their premium add-ons anywhere on the vB sites. And they are forced to release LITE versions to have the ability to TRY to sell the premium versions.

From my personal experience, my XF sales versus vB sales are running about 25:1.

So, what do you think most coders are going to do? Where do you think they are going to focus their attention?

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

Now, should I code a LITE add-on with 4000 lines of code AND a PREMIUM add-on with 6000 lines of code for vB? Or, do I just go straight to a single 6000 line premium add-on for the other software? Again, not hard to choose.
