I actually prefer MyBB over every other forum software. I like how simple and flat MyBB is. The only complaint I have about MyBB is the lack of good, free themes. I was lurking the XenForo resource page yesterday and there were a lot of good free themes that I wish had MyBB equivalents.
I can understand your decision though. MyBB has had a lot of bad publicity lately and the popular plugins (MyAlerts 1.8 is one off the top of my mind) still haven't been updated. In my opinion MyBB is the best forum software for small communities. I've had friends who converted from MyBB to IP Board, VB, and XenForo in hopes of rejuvenating their forums but it didn't really make any difference at all. Heavily customized MyBB looks and works the best.
