It would seem to me that the question of a chat switch is utility compared to ease of use and aesthetics. The wiki chat has the private message feature, which is useful for when something is not suitable or interesting for others. Also, it includes several features for ease of wiki use, such as an easier, smaller link system, and the sidebar member links. It has enough roles and bot ability to be sufficient, and serves as sufficient discussion means. Things such as pings, interface, and voice channels, however, indeed make discord attractive. It would serve as a draw for users and in general a nicer thing to use. For these reasons, an option could be considered to make the former chat for serious matters, while discord is for casual use, analogous to the source and visual editors.
