In your opinion, is vBulletin 3.8 still better than vBulletin 4?

Bought the 4.x license just to keep updated with the 3.7/3.8 series. Set up a test 4.x forum--the moderators don't like it, and the test users didn't like the sluggishness. As the site admin and developer, I don't like the code bloat. And with no native Sphinx support, and a lack of time to dink around with trying to get Sphinx working on 4.x, It's a definite pass.

Short version: "No." vB4 is the last time we buy a license.
