I wonder who is using Discourse successfully and how they measure that success. If your project is awesome but your forum is appalling, you will still get some users who put up with the appalling forum in order to collaborate on the awesome project.
Discourse only "supports" 4 browsers. If you use any other browser you get the frankly ridiculous "upgrade your browser" message. Faking the user-agent shows that the software works just as well (or badly) on other browsers so this is just shoddy behaviour.
Discourse is slow, unwieldy and degrades to almost unusable with JS switched off. It's pretty much the worst forum software I have used. It is not an application to hold up as a shining beacon of what OSS can achieve, unfortunately.
