 * A proper moderation workflow is not a con, its something that's been missing for too long.
 * A blow-by-blow visual comparision to Twitter actually demonstrates that Discussions does not align with it, beyond any first glance.
 * I can say with certainty that Discussions is a smoother, less buggy experience. Here, my high latency will mean I may lose the whole post or have to refresh before.
 * There is long text discussion on there. See Wookiee and Riordan. Long-term discussion comes with caveats if you're trying to get feedback or make a decision on implementing something. The time duration gets the necessary attention.
 * Discretizing the forum from the wiki makes RC much more readable. And there's DiscussionsFeed.
 * No formatting or edit history is a con. I'll just wait on those.
 * More activity, more frequent yet proportionate spam. 'Tis unsurprising.
 * A lot of big communities maintain Discussions very smoothly.

EDIT: Typo fix.
