I really like Mumble, and I never use the audio channels in Discord because of the horrible quality.

With that said, I never use it. I use TeamSpeak for audio and Discord for persistent chat. My biggest problem, and the reason I think a lot of people are discounting, is purely the aesthetics of the UI - Discord just looks nicer than Mumble. The programmer-art style of user interface seems all too common among open source software, and I don't really understand why.

You are right it is a bit sad...but with a few easy moments you could have Mumble lookin' like this https://puu.sh/CG0tv/add34e27ef.png which I think is sleep & clean. Download the Mumble Beta can you choose the window color...also able to mute / change volume of each individual person now. Mumble also only uses 16,000K of resources where discord is about 170,000K
