IPB is a different approach to community software. I wouldn't call it an alternative to vbulletin's problems.
IPB is a complex application, that can take a bit of time to update during an upgrade. It relies heavily on a templating system that has been problematic for some. The templating orgranization/structure is nice, but some of the critical templates are simply too large.
IPB is a well-integrated solution, with great support. However, I have seen some larger sites migrate to IPB and end up migrating again to something else (as well as some migrating back to IPB).
I like IPB, but admit to some degree of "compensating" - there are issues, but historically they have better to deal with than a migration to vb4. My hope is that when v3.3 is released it will open some opportunities.
