BBPress has nothing else going for it other than the fact that it’s from the WordPress folks.

Nah.

1. Simplicity: Vanilla is top notch, and also has a plugin system.

Plugins

2. Comprehensiveness: Invision boards or PHPBB etc.

bbPress hasn’t been created to be a gargantuan monster (such as PhpBB.)

So. Why is it that BBPress is not just a full plugin to WordPress and therefore totally integrated with WordPress? If this is already being discussed (as I hope it is!) then when is this planned?

There’s a nifty sticky on the very top of the page: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-plugin-updates
