IBP is very good for what it is, but lacks a hell of a lot in comparason to vB... I've been running an IBP board for about 6 months now and I can't wait to get back to vB.
I didn't like the code of IPB at all. The templates were very annoying in my experience, and the Admin CP wasn't as intuitive to me as vBulletin's. Maybe I'm just too partial to vB from having used that infinitely more than IPB, but my first impressions from admining a vB back 2.5 years ago were great (that was 2.03 at the time, iirc) whereas my first impressions from admining an IPB were horrible.
IPB is simple but it costs as much as VB now which is stupid. VB is more secure, but VB3's template/style system can eat my shorts. VB3 destroys IPB in everyway except style/template... imo of course.
