This is a very subjective question, so it makes it a bit hard to answer. We've never done comparison charts against other software, because honestly, comparison charts usually misrepresent the competition, unless you are extremely familiar with their software.
So, honestly, I can't say why it's better than VB or IPB, since I don't know much about either product.
As for stability. We're just about 10 years old and we have a pretty large customer base, so I don't really think stability is an issue.
I could rattle off some of our features, but you'll find that on our feature list page, minus the new stuff in this version like the built-in gallery.
As you can see, I'm not a sales person, just the developer. We try and focus more on what our existing customers want/need rather than what will attract new customers in mass. So, that is one of our PROs I guess is that we really try to listen to our current customer base and what they want.

Why is UBB better than vBulletin? Have you read their faq; vBulletin was initially based off of the UBB, it states it in plain text... Now, obviously infopop was doing something right if they had to do a php port of UBB.Classic to sell to customers... Plenty of companies have done something similar either from UBB.Classic or UBB.threads and now run fairly popular forum titles, but if you get down to the nitty gritty, a part of the UBB can be found in their core; it is UBBCode for a reason ya know... Why the UBB? Caching Quick Reply Excellent developer who LISTENS to his customers and is extremely helpful Friendly member base CSS Styling System AJAX functionality Gallery forums Non-encoded source (Some forum titles encode their php sourcecode in either IonCube or Zend; evidently they don't want people stealing their work that they stole elsewhere lol) Upcoming permission system enhancements (slated for 7.3) Upcoming payment system (slated for 7.3) Upcoming video blogging options (slated for 7.3; a mod for this can be found over at UBBDev anytime) I could probably go on for hours

A lot of that can actually be found on Wikipedia; suprisingly I got bored and was poking around the last couple weeks... Look at: wwwthreads infopop groupee ubb classic (ubb.classic) ubb threads ( UBB.threads) eve And you can get a lot of the info on dates.
