Mark mate, i know exactly what you are going on about - vB 3.5 so far doesn't look that good.

It looks as though the only thing the vB team did, was add the plugin system, and AJAX, but really nothing for the end user.
Many popular mods, in my opinion, should have been taken over and intergrated into vB's standard system.
vB, without some of these mods, is a quite useless forum. it's bare.

Also, the heirarchy of the plugins need to be done ASAP.
On top of that, before i could install a mod, and decide to move the mod into a different area, or modify it to my liking - now, it's looking to be quite hard with 3.5
