the default themes are ugly for both, myBB and SMF - and as I said, the theme will change for final launch (or short after - depends on the issues). But just for testing the conversion the default one is fine enough for now (screenshot is default).
Also just had a little closer look at SMF. Their "plugin system" isn't much different form myBB, except that they have a repository browser that eases installation - but as it seems the addons are just extracted and merged into the main source - which is not what I expected from a real "plugin system". I know it that plugins stay in their own folders (like f.e. themes) and just register for hooks - easier to follow what's installed and easier deletion on file level if things go wrong. Also it does modify source code of core files on some "plugins" which is in my eyes a total no-go.
