So why not just use IRC? What makes Discord different/better?

'Everybody' is already on Discord and I doubt I can convince all of them to move to IRC. Plus voice and video chat.

Not having to use bouncers, being able to use it on multiple devices at once, SSL-only. Using IRC on a phone is a giant PITA.

I wouldn't wish having to use EFNet on anyone, either.

The audience, voice and video chat built in, more advanced bot support.
