As best as I know Curse is free while all but Discord are not. I don't know a lot about Discord so I can't really enumerate anything about it. If it's decentralized then it's extra bandwidth. Not sure it's sustainable if it's centralized and free. Bandwidth is not free or cheap.
For me, personally, I like how I can add friends on Curse *and* it manages my WoW addons. This is a service I'd pay a small fee for. I'm not sure how Curse will make money and be sustainable. They'll need to charge for something at some point I imagine. I just hope they don't want ass-rapey expensive.
