I believe they are complimentary. Joomla can handle a more reasonable article structure, focusing in an article and its readers. Vbulletin, on the other hand, focuses in the discussion itself. I've been joomla+VB with bbpixel's integration for almost one year and I'm fully satisfied in a 55K members environment. I have a lot of visitors to both areas, joomla's frontend, and VB forum backend. They both have their strenghts and this way I can draw traffic from both.

Go to big-boards, see how many fireboards are there.

You've got a point in there, but see, there is a template system, you don't need to modify the core to get tableless.

Nice one. Anyway, I believe that using BBpixel's login integration, plus a little css effort, you could end up with a fairly decent integration.
