What do you guys think about discourse?

[zappaDPJ]

Discourse continues to build an impressive list of communities, including a fair number migrating from Khoros. One minor observation which may or may not hold water; it appears to me new communities started on Discourse are far more likely to gain traction than communities started on more traditional platforms.

Discourse is having 100-150 updates, bug fixes, and new features every week.
Way far than what is xenforo doing nowadays :|

XenForo was spun off from ex-vBulletin developers and AFAIK bootstrapped. Discourse was VC-funded ($21M) and has hundred(s) of employees. And I'd wonder, even if XF did raise VC money, would they want the risk and headache of a big expansion.

The only thing stopping me from jumping to discourse is the importers are poor.
