For now, it is a 50-50, meaning that the Forums are as good as Discussions. However, Discussions is significantly developing, and it nowadays doesn't seem to be as bad as what people think. The UI is actually clean and there could be unlimited replies in a thread without any sort of lag or long loading whatsoever. However, some features like highlighting, viewing the history of the post, exclusive right rail modules in Discussions (e.g. Discussions Activity & Related Discussions), basic wiki text support (along with a rich text editor that formats code) and consistency with the wiki's theme are features that are worth including in Discussions. Although this may all sound cool for such a feature that is currently developing, it would honestly be weird if metawikis like this and the FANDOM Open Source Library migrated to Discussions. It's just that Forums are better for technical help and support in these wikis because the thread and board organization is better for such purposes, and it would be weird if there are so many social media looking posts asking for technical help, but I honestly wouldn't really have a problem with Discussions being in any other wiki.
