Vorbis is superior to AAC
Not at all bitrates, but it's certainly on the same league.
It kind of sucks for 5.1 and higher
They're working on it right now:

Also, I can't help but laugh at all the people complaining about patents. Is the compression efficiency ratio difference is close to two, as it is right now, it sure is a much better business proposition to shell out the cash for those patents. In the case of Firefox, Google would gladly pay for it, as moving YouTube to Theora would be much more expensive.
Also, GIF and MP3 had (have) the same problem and they didn't kill anybody.
And finally, there's a lot of patented stuff that all these complainers use without even realizing it. Heck, I'm sure most of these people think Apple is cool.
