When i've had a further play and learn how to develop on it i'll be in a better position to comment, so, "out of the box" at the moment it sucks, you have tons of things to change (if you can find them) to get to something that you could start using.

I have to agree with this, I once played around with xenforo and the admin panel was not easy.
I guess that was to do with the years of using vB Admin panel, but the vB admin panel is nice and easy to use where I found xenforo admin panel a real headache to work out.

I just gave up with it.
