(Don't accept it as flame, or Joomla propaganda) :) Better interface, the devs listen to the community :) (dont know much about current devs <-> community, after the skalpa replacement) Layouts for each part of the component (very easy indeed), with tags, such as.

Mirrors, screenshots (awful part of current wf-download - try to add 3 XOOPS themes with 1 screen (u can't add more then 1 shot) per theme... u will want to kill first author of the module after 2nd attempt :) Better protection from leechers, better file handler - u can upload 100,000 files via FTP, to refresh jDownloads, and then to add and write some description with ease or simply select all and publish :) from latest beta 1 to 10 columns for the files and folders and XOOPS atm only have few modules which dont have analogues for Joomla :) 1. CBB 3.08 and it's alternative, Kunena sux 2. WebLinks 1.9x - Joomla miss such extension 3. WebPhoto (by Happy Linux) - mmmm, probably Phoca Gallery 4. Herve News 1.5 or was 1.4 For my needs only CBB was missing, and that's why my forums are external - mybb based. And in the time I've created cmsbg.info, XOOPS 2.3 wasnt even stable (Also XOOPS themes are awful, but don't want to make this thread full with spam:) ) Oh and translation is easier

Offtopic: For the time I can translate 2 extensions like jDownloads with 90k language files, I cant translate 1 XOOPS module (50k) bcz of (wont repeat myself) messy language files full of outdated strings, repeating strings in modinfo.php and admin.php and this 'define' :) jDownloads in RC will have and rating per folder/file, multiple file upload and 3rd party integration with Social extensions like CB and JomSocial
