By reading this blog post, it's easy to understand why.

No screenshots for new readers to actually see what's the UI look like, what's the UX look like, what's other feature look like VISUALLY.

Why taking too much words ? Remember one golden rule in marketing: One picture worths 1000 words.

Looks like blog is about the diff between 6.0 and 7.0; see https://zulip.com/ for screenshots. BTW, threaded conversations (called "instances" in Zephyr https://sipb.mit.edu/doc/zephyr/, which Zulip's model is inspired by) are infinitely better than anything Discord/Slack/IRC have to offer and greatly contribute to discussion culture: it is considered a faux pas to not switch an instance when conversation topic changes, so you can easily narrow in on the entirety of a conversation even if a number different conversations are happening at the same time.

Discord added threads recently which are nice but somewhat a completely different thing. It's like saying "let you and I discuss this after the meeting". But it's useful in a place where there is no structure. If the admin lets them have a long life they sometimes provide a nice archive view of solved things and such. I find zulip superior in every way except audio and video - which if we are being really honest Zulip does not actually have.

true but look at their main page: https://zulip.com it is pretty good at showing zulip
