I highly doubt it. XF2.0 offers mostly feature parity. It's XF2.1 which will offer new features.I'm sure when XF2 is released a large number of vB3 forums who have been holding out will migrate over.

No one's going to convert a large forum to 1.5 now (and I'd say that statement has been true since XF2 was announced). It means addons (and particular styles) needing to be redone and will just confuse users. I imagine a lot of people have been waiting.

Respectfully I would disagree. If XenForo 1.5.x meets the needs of those forum admins, then they should invest time into investigating whether converting over a forum is viable and feasible.
If it doesn't, then they most certainly can choose to wait for XenForo 2.0.
"Investing time" and actually upgrading are two hugely different things.
Take Something Awful as an example, they've been publicly talking about moving their very customised (and HUGE) VB2 forum over to XF for something like 6 months. If I'm guessing right, their owner joined here over a year ago to start "investigating" their options but it'd be crazy to move something that big over to XF1.5 and spend masses of time/money on things like styling and addons when XF2 is on the horizon. XF2 got announced WAY too early and that's temporarily killed growth but I'm confident things will pick up massively once it's released and a lot of people who've been sitting on their hands for the past year will jump on it.
I worked on the migration of my big board for 3 years, did the migration in February of this year and only now I am getting close to having the same functions I had on vb3. ( I had 110 addons on vb3) I should have everything fully imported in 1-2 months. (except for some obvious things like Events)No one's going to convert a large forum to 1.5 now (and I'd say that statement has been true since XF2 was announced).

XF1 development is still going full steam ahead. I didn't even have time to install XF2 and play with it.
So coming from that point of view, I certainly do not expect XF2 to happen anytimes soon for us. I will upgrade my site to XF2 when all addons I use are ported and after XF2 offers enough new functionality to make the investment worthwhile. This will probably take years.
Although, the historical charts would suggest XF has peaked - 37.66% marketshare on Dec 01, 2015 - and hovering around 36% since.After hovering around 1.25% lead for 2-3 weeks, the gap is now widening: 1.3% yesterday, 1.4% today. Let's hope that's a trend!

That's half-way to my coffee being ready - most interesting!It is about as interesting as watching water evaporate.
Unfortunately that chart excludes software like Discourse, Flarum, Vanilla. Probably because some of those have a free version.
