    In my world the biggest advantage of Discord is the Availability on consoles allowing voice chat for crossplay. For all I know none of the alternatives you mentioned is available for consoles. I know there are people connecting their PS/XBox audio output with a computer running TeamSpeak to receive VoiceChat and in Game Sound from the same system but this is not a usable solution for most people.

      100 % agree. Somehow Discord found its niche and no one else challenged it.

      Edit: Xfire might have, but they died a long time ago

      And that took forever to release! For over half the time discord has been around they didn’t have console support

        possible, but still it’s a problem for me. Never liked Discord and was always happy with TS. But when I started playing with a friend using XBox I was forced to use it
