I haven't made that bad an experience with Discord. I remember having an issue with Svelte and simply not finding the answer even though I thought that should be a fairly common problem (disabling SSR). There were threads on Github with the same problem but no answer, and closed. I went to Discord to ask someone there, but first search for it in the chat, and lo and behold: It was there, white on black.
Maybe I was lucky, that the problem had such a clear keyword to look for. But writing an extensive documentation of ypur project takes a lot of time, and having a place where ALL people can ask questions and other people can find them is a good thing (nothing against Svelte's docs, they're amazing). Maybe Discord could improve search functionality, and a clear culture of channel organization still has to develop
