Here are a few things that make Discord nicer than IRC for ordinary (non-voice) chat:

1. You can start a new server right in the client by clicking a button.

2. Logs are saved server-side and synced across all your clients (phone, PC, etc).

3. You can upload images and videos to be hosted by Discord's servers. Media and links appear inline in the chat log.

4. No strange rituals involving NickServ or ChanServ.

5. Mobile notifications.
