Re: Future of bbPress
1. SimplePress looks better than BuddyPress did before Automattic has acquired it. I intent to emphasize rather business aspect, than technology one. It would be better for WordPress community if the resources will concentrated, not dispersed.
2. Try vBulletin4.0(beta). It’s “light, adaptable, etc”…
3. My company develops 4-6 [WP-based] sites (not blogs) a month. God bless WordPress!
CMS=ContentManagementSystem, isn’t blogging about content management?
And you’re right, hopefully, it’s CURRENT shortcomings will be overcame in 3.0
