I recall looking at Vanilla a little while ago. I just looked again.

There's nothing like the php talklist to keep you mindful of your PHP 
fundamentals (such as the use of single and double quotes..ahem)  and 
there's nothing like XAMPP to *force* you to get it right lol. But now 
that I fixed vanilla's installer it looks pretty good. Still a ways from 
what i consider stable, and I see plenty of comments about IE rendering 
issues.

Last time I settled on punbb.org because it was sooooo easy to get 
integrated and done with. Not at all web2.0-ey, but I didn't want to 
spend the time.
