Better? Sure, for you maybe.

Overwhelmingly the word I'd use to describe Discord's interface is "one". There is one interface. It's an interface that most people seem to like, but we've lost an important freedom there. It's against the EULA to modify your client or use an alternative one.

If with IRC one can have any interface, I would not call Discord's better.

Use Pidgin or The Lounge and do it like normal.

Some modern clients (or clients-as-services) build in image/file sharing.
