AFAIK it can't reach feature parity with Discord, it only does text FFS! No video, no voice, not even simple text formatting and emojis! Not to mention plenty of clients are ugly, which can't be said about Discord.

So many great things listed as negatives :(

There is a single feature I kinda wish it had, view message history. Doesn't have to be permanent history, like last 30 minutes/messages would be fine. But using IRC on an intermittent connection isn't great in my experience. Otherwise I would love to go back to IRC.

Agree about features (pplus the fact that you'd need a bouncer or an always-on client to receive all messages), but the clients are just better than Discord. Discord just feels bloated.
