That's all relative. Yeah, XenForo can do some crazy amazing stuff that vB wouldn't have thought about when they first started, but features like relative timestamps (which are awesome) are something from today's society. They are taking different standards, and using them. We'd never have thought to do a framework way back when vB/IPB started, but its now basically standard / widely available. Using JQuery (or any JS library) is also a great move, and vB tried to do it with YUI, but there was too much legacy code to make it efficient / worthwhile. But I think XenForo will blow the competition out of the water in roughly a year.
