Interesting thread there Goldknight, but IMO it just shows how little they know about vB.

To quote a long standing vB user (who shall remain nameless); vB3 looks like a bag of hacks barfed up on a vB2. Of course, this is probably because on of the lead developers was an active hack writer.

Anyone who knows anything about vB3 knows that what you see there isn't what it will look like when released.

i partly agree with matt's point of view. as anticipated as vb3 is, i this is a bit too over crowded with un-needed features, which most users will never use.

I believe they've lost significant market share which is beginning to show in what I would call desperation by the inclusion of such crammed features such as threaded view. Those types of things should always remain as hacks and they are not following the golden rule of development which is: it must benefit the masses. As a result, it cheapens the look and feel imo.

Again, people who know anything about vB3 will know that many options can be switch on/off via the Admin CP, removing all the features us Admins feel arn't needed on out boards. Features such as threaded view have lost Jelsoft many customers because that is somrthing that will benifit the masses.

I wouldn't say I have a particularly biased opinion towards vB3 as I know I won't be using it on my own board and will stick with vB3, but I think I've pointed out that these people don't have a clue about vB3.
