MyPlaza Phoenix: Will MyPlaza Survive Again?

[Firefox Wins]

MyPlaza, IMO, was ahead of it's time and deserves to still exist.
What is good / bad about MyPlaza?

The Positives:
Powerful
Flexible
Extensible
Many options for use, only limited by your effort and imagination.

The Negatives:
To complex?
Hard to use?

re: To complex? / Hard to use?
This was said too often about MyPlaza, wasn't it?

Question #1:
If (~75 to 85% of people are not willing or able to "climb a simple learning curve")
{ Then the other ~20% of all people should be denied the chance to use challenging, rewarding, super-cool products and software?  }
^^^

Question #2:
How hard would the upgrade from MyPlaza1.2 to MyBB1.6 really be?
A few plugin hooks with different names?
Queries modified?
Is this a "massive project" or "climbing a simple learning curve?"

MyPlaza IS AWESOME!
Thank you.
