Still IPB is un-beatable.
Just to illustrate more of what we tend to take for granted with IPB, here's examples:
Ability to choose email subscription type. Ability to get a copy of what was posted and by whom, to be mailed to you. A clean interface...
And of course, if you moderate/admin a large forum, that's when you see all of Invision's features in their full glory, since its really excellent from that angle.
Security issues, there's a lot of difference too. When you register on a phpBB forum, you get your password mailed to you in plain-text.
Yes, I know there's mods/hacks for each of what I'm describing above. But well, it does get tiresome if you need to install 430 mods to get to what is standard for you with something else. Whereas with IPB you start off on a good base, and have millions of hacks available to improve it from all sides.

You can add more thing to phpBB than IPB because it's open source.
The point of concern here is, when you ask about some feature that is quite basic, the phpBB forums often responds with a reply which goes something like:

yeah, we have that feature too, but in a less-developed form - and because you have got atleast this much for free, be happy with it and @#$!%
