Hell yes, the plugin system is great and the biggest improvement ever. Makes it easy to add hacks and disable or remove them if you need to...
Get a list of all your current hacks and see if they have been released for vB 3.5.x (with upgrade instructions) - if they are all upgraded... plugging them back into 3.5.x is simple.
One thing I have learned using vBulletin... keep a detailed list of what changes you have made so you can keep the software current. Once you start tearing it up without records and fallin' behind - your stuck with an ol' forum with an ol' interface and known security issues/problems...
I know it sucks to have a lot of custom work done and them vB come out with all new files to upload... I had this constant upgrade problem with 2.x.
