Also let us not forget that the very same people who are developing XenForo now failed to give us vB3 customers a proper CMS and blogs throughout the vB3 series.

Will they be able to do it now ? Maybe, lets see. Till now even the forum is not properly developed and its too early to speculate about all this. It will probably be years before the full package matures.

But one thing I can say for sure. I have used both vBulletin 4 as a user and Xenforo alpha as a user.

And except the blogs, there was nothing in vB4 suite that I really liked over vB3. There was nothing in vB4 which made me say .. Wow .. I like that feature and I want it. Infact I disliked it.

I missed several vB features in using XenForo, but there were a number of new features there ... which made me say .. Wow ... thats cool... wish I had that on my forum. Which is why I see potential in that software.

Anyway its early days as yet.
