Like I said, each to his own. However, vB has been getting a little too complex for my tastes. It tends to make assumptions that a user already knows how to use forum software. Hell, vB2 used "User CP" everywhere and it took me forever to learn that CP actually meant "Control Panel."

The one thing I can't stand about vB (which encompasses the majority of my problems with it) is that it does not strictly follow the model-view-controller paradigm. It's getting closer, but the model, view, and controller (database, web pages, and controlling PHP) are so integrated with each other that completely changing vB's appearance globally is virtually impossible without modifying every single template and quite a bit of PHP.
