I would disagree.
there are certain features of old / traditional forums that users like or need
for example, one omission in current bbpress is “number of views”

it does influence and show how popular certain topics are.

we have a large forum, where categories are necessity,.. because in category has 10 or more ‘forums’
and if they were laid out like traditional forums, it would make it easier for the members to see the whole structure of the forums.. as it is, I had to manually create a table with all the categories/ forums

(having said that, we are still using buddy press forums.. and hoping to migrate to bbpress as soon as the converter becomes available..
