Joomla component Community Builder vs. VBulletin

[Catfish]

Hi,
anybody has any experience with the "Community Builder" component for Joomla ?
Haven't installed it yet, but since it's free, I'm thinking of using it instead of buying another license for VBulletin.

I have tried using it before, on a old site of mine and found it extremely confusing.

I would seriously use VBulletin over Joomla. Although there are pro's and con's for both.

I once had a military housing community website that ran joomla with community builder and fireboard.

I found fireboard to be the best free forum for joomla and community builder fits right in.

Not a big fan of joomla, though.

I'll try it out. Installation seems to be rather tricky though. And I think I will try Wordpress CMS for my next website. It seems to have a lot of advantages over Joomly, especially SEO-wise.

Don't know anything about Joomla, but I sure do love vBulletin. I'd have to be really impressed with another software to consider switching.
