It's a wonderful idea, but with newer competing software being much lighter than they were in the past (Even phpBB is now completely valid XHTML/CSS!) and sporting many more features, you have to wonder what the point of using bbPress is. You can usually bridge WordPress and other software, anyway. I hope it gets some more love now they've moved to the magic 1.0, and it starts to at least tackle the standard forum features (this does NOT imply bloat) that were introduced in the late 90s.
