Default VB4.2 V VB5.2

So currently I'm running VB5.2.4 for my community, but I am seriously considering abandoning VB5 while my site is still young and developing. The main reasons for me considering the switch is mainly down to the immense lack of compatible modifications, and available themes, but also because the stability of VB5 just sucks eggs at the moment. Each update is breaking things the 3x or 4x updates never did.

My question is this.. I do like the site builder feature in VB5 which makes things much easier to arrange on your pages. Is there a large difference in what I can expect from the AdminCP, ease of mod installations, is there lots of manual template modifications required when installing VB4 mods? What core functionality will I lose/gain from going from VB5 to VB4?

Does the coding community here see any sudden upsurge in their desire to start focusing of VB5 over VB4? Or should we expect VB4 to remain the priority as long as the current VB coding team maintain their current direction?
