It's nothing worse than say, the new Twitter design. It's better to have a minimalistic design that has some empty space to expand into than a cluttered design that's difficult to use.

Again, while it might be a while before a stable MediaWiki discussion feature is developed that sees widespread adoption I don't think forking MediaWiki again and creating something janked like Forums that bogs down efforts to update the software for the next decade is a good idea.
