Do you use Vanilla? What do you think about the software?

I've tried Vanilla before. It's okay, but not a fan. It felt very limited, and there wasn't much "good looking" Vanilla themes out there.

What I do like is their mobile compatibility.

I think Vanilla Forums are way too restrictive. You don't have much room at all to do different things with the software.

However, I know penny arcade is run on Vanilla software and it looks pretty decent in my opinion. If you're interested it's here: http://forums.penny-arcade.com
