Honestly, I prefer vent. The UI is really bad, granted, but you know what, so is mumble. Dat server finder, lol. I'll have to try discord.
Anyway, the reason I use vent in addition to mumble is because I want my conversations with my friends during the raid to be private. Also, bandwidth is a big concern for me, and vent uses very little/no discernible bandwidth.
If your new fancy IIRC text chat programs uses my bandwidth in the name of arbitrary "improvement", then it actually kills the program for me.
PS: I'm one who keeps the voip minimized and in the background. The only interface I have with it is when I press to talk and hear the wav file.
