Yes, it seems so.It sounds like XenForo is not the system for you.

XenForo represents the best software available to use as a platform for add-on development. That has been a core goal from day one. If people don't trust add-on developers, or are unwilling to use third party add-ons, they miss a large part of the point of XenForo, and exclude themselves from a wealth of features and functionality to which they will otherwise have no access.
We have built the software in such a way as to minimise the scope for poor quality add-ons - that's not to say that there won't be some, but it's a lot easier to add-on to XenForo in a safe, secure and future-compatible way than it is to do so with many of our competitors. If an add-on is released now and it works, it's not of vital importance that it is actively supported, because we don't anticipate significant backwards compatibility breaks happening in XenForo for the foreseeable future. This is an artifact of our system design.
I've posted this before, but if anyone wants to see comments from Kier and Mike relating to possible future features, check the Information tab on my profile.
And WHO cares???Not john doe and i also not ATM...
It can be the worlds best system, but if people
and they don't use it, it's useless.
- don't know how to use it because of lacking documentation and need to experiment around for months to see that it can't work and they have to wait for 1.1 which can be months away, OR
- don't want to code add-ons which COULD!!!(only kier,mike and some insiders knows...) be in the core soon (where's the thread prefixe add-on for example? i'm sure if coders would know what it will get it into the core in at least 1 year, somebody would code it, but not, if it's 1-2months away! But as said already, only the insiders know it)
That's why IMHO IPB3 is ATM the best platform for add-on developers => they have there tutorials, they have already there great mature core, with many usable components...
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, they have there blog where they share the new features, and not implement them "hidden" like the rss feed here (and which is the reason, why i stopped coding big customer add-ons)
My 0.02$
Kier to blog every time he sneezes.
So the big issue is the couple month window between updates?
XF's ACTIONS speak louder then any blog or announcement ever could. When each update comes out, then you have all your answers. You either trust the XF team (Mike & Kier) or you don't. If you do trust them, a blog isn't needed. If you don't trust them, then a blog wont help.
What on earth are you going on about? I have no interest in "trusting" any company, I just want to buy a forum package which has all the features I need. XenForo doesn't have all the features - yet. So are these features coming? I don't know, I'm in the dark, because they decide not to publish development updates or any idea of what well-requested features are going to be included in future releases.
I'd be happy to wait for a future update and not in the meantime spend money on IPB or stay with vB, if I knew a future release would include features needed for my community.
So far we've had suggestions of looking at tweets (which have no firm future product details) or the information part of a moderator's profile (which links to some posts which are quite old) and links to a statement from Kier to say, in summary, they will remain silent for various reasons. Great!
Can you not understand from a business perspective why they have to remain silent?
