Im not arguing anything - you made the initial claim, not me.In what way would you argue that vBulletin 4 or 3 is superior?

That wasn't in xF from the start either, it was actually suggested by me.No Thread preview on scroll over
Item #17. Based upon my involvement in the computer industry for over 13 years, my knowledge of the vBulletin software since 2006, my extensive background in computer programming for 15-20 years, and my review of the source code used in the XenForo software, in my opinion, it would have been impossible for a software company of Xenforo's size to develop XenForo from scratch between June 30, 2009, and July, 28, 2010, ... It took Jelsoft and VBSI more than ten(10) years to develop vBulletin to this point with Darby working on the project. The fact that Darby was able to program and release a bulletin board software program that included certain more advanced features than vBulletin in a mere thirteen months is a clear indication to me that XenForo and its programmers simply copied vBulletin's code, and spent the last year adding to this product the new features that were planned for subsequent versions of vBulletin.
In fact, I believe that vBulletin will catch up IF AND ONLY IF they stop sticking their head in the sand, stop doing agile development long enough to fix the bloody bugs and start from scratch.
So how long will it take this team to make xF superior ?
You're not wrong.Personally, at the rate of current development and faith that I have in both the developers/staff and product, I somewhat think that XenForo could catch up to vBulletin (in terms of a development stand-point) in a matter of 2 years or less. Call me crazy, but... I think it's entirely do-able.

Don't you think you should add an if ever?How long is it going to take for vBulletin, IPB and most other forum software to catch up with XenForo style property and template system?
