Ironically, vB5 does the same things vBAdvanced does and more but even that wouldn't be a simple upgrade. I've stepped away from modifications entirely. I'm more curious as to why so many sites haven't.

Functionality, of course. Imagine if wordpress owners steered clear of plugins, the internet literally wouldn't be the same lol. Get yourself a developer either in-house, on retainer or available for freelancing when need be (depending on your budget) and don't hold back on functionality!
