I dont think the developers should be judged entirely by the actions of some of the community members. Moderation is a very difficult task and they cannot be expected to do it perfectly all the time, just as we cant expect moderation to be perfect here all the time. Please also remember that they are in a very stressful situation with a lot of work to do and no income as yet.
I dont agree with some of the policy decisions that they have made regarding features as well, but they have a vision of xenforo and lets see where it goes. Most of the features of the basic forum software are looking good and are very stable. They are inspiring a confidence and sense of creativity which is not there in vB4 as yet.
Of course they dont have any of the mods/styles etc .. which make vBulletin so great but the have a lot of talented people backing them up. They have some good vb coders/designers there already so lets see how it goes. Honestly I think they have a good chance of competing with vbulletin sometime in the future.
Also I think this will be good for vBulletin itself because having a good competitor like xenforo will force vBulletin to improve its standards as well. Forum communities will benefit as a result.
