Lol, I tried using Discord garbage 2 or 3 times, just can't see why people like it. It was an awful experience every time. Convoluted, unintuitive UI, terrible software from a performance and stability standpoint. Seemed like software designed by committee with no clear objectives, and then coded by one schizophrenic dev who was just learning programming.

It's staggering to me it's as successful as it is.

It's a terrible platform that snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by being the only easy to use VoIP client right as Skype was dying.

The nice thing is, the lack of defining features and it's general awful qualities will make it easy to supplant when another true competitor emerges.
