You're not alone.

I didn't see any real functional improvement to vB 4.x. All it did was add crap (blogs, more "social" stuff) and change the template system. In fact, it's been my observation that a lot of seemingly basic forum-related wants went ignored from 3.x user suggestions. And I do get rather tired of the "go look at vB.org" approach taken by vB staff on vB.com. To get vB to do what we want, us users have to rely on each other, and on 3rd-party products (vBSEO). I think vB could learn from the WordPress community.

I'll continue to customize, patch and harden vB 3.x for as long as I can. Given the ability to update to $50 upgrade extensions, I think vB finally realized that trying to force existing users to adopt 4.x wasn't going to happen.

Anyway, my 2 cents.
