Certainly not dismisisng it, it just isn't my cup of tea. I like bells and
whistles and for forums to look nice as well.

I think Ray's is spot-on for something that is widely applicable.  It may
not have all of the features someone could want, but it makes up for that by
providing an excellent foundation on which to build those features.

In a professional environment where I may need to add forum capabilities, I
wouldn't want something with PMs, emoticons, avatars, etc.  Galleon gives me
a product that is guaranteed to not be *more* than I need (which is often
worse than having less than you need!), tested, and pretty secure (I've
tried to break into it using the same techniques I've used to exploit other
message boards to no avail).

It's definitely worth checking out the alternative you've suggested,
especially if its features suit someone's needs - but outright dismissing
Galleon isn't a good idea.
