Actually, 2.5 had a lot going for it. We still have several  
integrators who prefer 2.5 for its buildoutless installation and  
development, simpler theming, and lack of (to them) arbitrary  
divisions like portal_skins/portal_view_customizations that arise from  
phasing in the component architecture. Personally, I like 3 for a lot  
of other reasons, but I can relate to their pain points and look  
forward to spending my FWT votes to try to make things simpler and  
more consistent (which is hopefully the way we're going anyway).
