XF saturation

[Lord Roco]

Like vBulletin which once stood at the pinnacle of forum management softwares from every conceivable point started declined because they refused to innovate or bring new products into the foray. Today, vBulletin is largely forgotten with most of the backend development being stagnant and not bringing fresh ideas and not getting new customers.

I think a similar stage will come for XF because they are not releasing new features at all. Most of them have been extensions and modules trying to ensure that they have everything that others have. Additionally, because its not open source like phpBB, innovation has largely stopped.

What are your thoughts?

Speaking of vBulletin I joined a forum using that software today. The first vb forum I've joined for a number of years. It looks quite nice what they've done with it.

The issue is that its what they have looked like for the past 10 years and nothing much has changed.

However, I should agree that the kind of fine things like moderation, ACP panel, icons on forum lists, sub forums and such items where infact the brainchild of vB.
