That's still an opinion, not a fact.

Until the missing features listed in Help:Discussions FAQ gets to be very few, it is a strongly supported opinion. This thread also represents support for the weakness of Discussions vs Forum. The pace of Discussions improvement is extremely slow. It took many months just to make it so you could access the rest of the wiki more easily (wiki header/navigation shows up in Discussions). The first version of Discussions, you could only navigate back to the wiki from the top level of Discussions or clicking on a username. Well it kind of complicates what some of us are trying to do, which is help users to get used to the idea of using Discussions rather than threaded forums. Since there's nothing we can do about it, it seems completely pointless to dwell on it.

There are some ways to help users to get used to Discussions, such as Stylish which adds CSS. And even without highlights, there are ways around that, and quotes and wiki-text, well we'll just have to see if Staff had features that serve as the equivalent of those.
