Yeah I'm giving the ease-of-use points to Discord.

I'd agree that both are big, sure...but ICQ and AIM didn't have attachments or GIFs or screensharing, They barely had text formatting. Yet they were still bigger than the semi-decentralized (but at least standards-based) IRC. The features weren't the big lure, it was the ease of use.
