Excellent point.
While one the subject of time .... part of the concerns people have about Xenfor0 2.0 is the excessive investment in time
Very few people actually hold that concern, but people will have you believe otherwise because they seem to enjoy that.
What people actually seem to want more than anything is that we take our time and release a good product worthy of the "2.0" moniker, rather than rush it and make mistakes and release something that is not viable. In the meantime, we have a perfectly viable product that people seem happy with.

You have seen on other platforms what happens when a major release is rushed. I believe this is the last thing you want to see happening here. Else you would still be using vb. We all know how that turned out.While one the subject of time .... part of the concerns people have about Xenfor0 2.0 is the excessive investment in time
I highly appreciate the time and care the XF team invests.
The advantages of working for the community rather than shareholders.
Shareholders want sales. And xf2 will do that.
But the community needs solid forum software in order to keep thriving.
I feel special that xf has invested so much of their time into a product for us, that's low cost, easy to buy and makes our members happy.

Some of those are possible already via add-ons. That's likely how it'll remain.

Are there any plans on bringing back the feature of searching for threads you started in a forum? I don't know or remember why it was removed. https://xenforo.com/community/search/?type=post

I have a question: Will XenForo 2.0 still use BBCode? Invision switched to HTML forum posts in version 4.0 (like Wordpress posts are HTML too).
Please don't switch to HTML too!

The problem is, that is what people seem to like now. To me it seems lazy. Forums were always great for finding information and even finding it later (some what). With facebook it is terrible. You might get the answer you are looking for but going back to find it.
People seem too lazy to post now. It is all about a picture/selfie and a few hashtags and then they move on.

I think your right. Drive by likes and sharing with a quick pic and 40 letters and a filter or something.
360k likes.. but... How many people care. What value was it?

Would also be very interested to hear something about that. There's a suggestion post here outlining some of the many benefits an API would bring (...142 likes): https://xenforo.com/community/threads/full-native-restful-api-built-into-xenforo.48787/
It's not something that will be part of 2.0, though we are very much aware of the suggestion and the possibilities it brings. The changes we have made have certainly laid groundwork for it but it's not something that could be fit in the scope of 2.0 itself. It is certainly one of the features we'll be evaluating for a subsequent release.
While there are some new features coming with 2.0--and we've mentioned a couple of them already--the focus has been updating the existing systems to what makes more sense today and to lay firmer foundations for the future.

@Mike @ChrisD or @Kier
Will you implement a up to date system to install, upgrade and deinstall Add-ons ?
What I miss:
- clean deinstallation including remove addon files from system
- a easy way to be informed about xenforo and addon updates
- a optional auto install for security fixes (like Wordpress it do - thanks god
)
Can we hope to something like this?

It's already super easy to be informed of XF and add-on updates - you just watch the relevant forums or resources. If you don't visit very often, you can watch those specific forums or resources with an email alert.
I think there's suggestions covering the other bits, further discussion or showing your support for those suggestions should happen there, ideally.
