Discord UX be like
I really don't understand why people say this, I find is very easy to navigate and use.
You must be a monster. To me it's very chaotic and hass too many shit going on.
Again, I just don't understand what you mean by this, there's a list of servers, you click one and get a list of channels in that server, click one of those and you've got a classic chatroom.

If you're coming from mumble/ventrilo or such, there's quite a bit to learn imo. Especially if you never used skype or the like, and were used to IRC. Or I'm just a boomer...
IRC-dwelling Gen Z here. Discord is an abomination. Not to mention that it's apparently not very friendly to third-party clients, while the official one as well as browser version is very heavy. Like, "a third of what my whole OS consumes" heavy.
Left Discord a while ago, no regrets.
Funny, I feel the same way about Matrix clients, instead. They're not that bad, but they could use quite a bit of polish (and they also don't rake in millions a year, so it's not an exactly fair comparison).
I guess it just comes down to what you're used to
