It this really a question ?
– BuddyPress – Built and Maintained by WordPress, who work & maintain project for free.
– Ultimate Member – Third party developer, who will bail out when the prospects of earning money are bleak.
I have worked extensively on both addons, there’s no comparison for BuddyPress, code quality, community are amazing.

yeah – i totally agree with you on this one.
It would be cool to have a BP “co-pilot” plugin that allows people to mod “BP” minimizing breakage and maintaining compatibility with other plugins.
One thing that annoys me is that i have to constantly look for BP plugins to extend some of its features.. and the constant fear that one of these plugins will get hacked..
