Interesting, similar configuration format to discourse, and /somewhat/ similar UI.

FWIW I chose discourse as my last forum software because it's written in technologies I prefer, ruby/postgres.

Even though I prefer the UI elements of xenforo or Invision PowerBoard- I can't ever go back to using mysql after administering oracle, mssql and postgres.

MySQL is the mongodb of relational database design.

And PHP is the equivalent in scripting languages, unfortunately.

Edit;

I wasn't clear apparently, I was saying while I like the configuration system, I do not like the UI, or the UI trend and I additionally do not like to tie in with mysql, we should be deprecating mysql from personal things so that in 10 years business can follow.
