Structure of SMF

[vbgamer45]

Well for one. There is always going to be a need for file edits with the current SMF Structure. Hooks can't solve everything. I have done development for MyBB and there are times that you want to change some of the logic but you can not due to the limited hook placements and the logic that is coded can't be overridden.

The thing that makes SMF so powerful was the package manager and was one of the reasons myself got into SMF instead of phpBB.

In the end a mixture of hooks and package manager will keep SMF on top.
