It's happened a few times. I'd take it as a sizable feather in my cap, personally and proclaim from the rooftops that vBulletin added my feature, albeit in an edited-for-inclusion manner.

I assume by modding what you actually mean diversification of product line? In which case no, they don't have as many products. On the other hand, neither do they have a bad reputation.
Modding on IPB itself does not even approach vBulletin's as far as I can see. There is a
thread on IPB's forums from a month ago asking for a hooks system which as anyone who uses it will tell you just makes modding completely from an end-user perspective and it's not too shabby to write for either.
Nor have I ever seen an IPB modding community or resource as sizable as this one, though I'd love to see what interesting things they're up to if you can point me somewhere. I'm sure IPB have their strengths with regards to modification as well though, both companies have their own high points.
I'm baffled how the subject even came up to be honest.
