IPB 4.0 - Screenshots

[Smithy]

Hello all,
I have been invited to the IPB 4.0 demo forum by the developers and my first thoughts was, XenForo?
You'll see why is these screenshots below.

IPB 3.4.x is an awesome IPB forum software but I think IPB 4.0 is just a touch too far and it may drive away the IPB lovers.
What do you guys think? Want me to post more screenshots? Tell me what to screenshot and I'll do it.
Thanks!

I think it is more coherant and modern than it has ever been, to be honest. I don't feel like it's really lost its identity at all, and am very much looking forward to the release.

The only thing I really don't like is that the theme doesn't look so nice on the forum index. I feel that both the forum list design and the sidebar boxes are a little plain looking, but other than that, I think it's an excellent design overall. I can't wait for the release.
