The only bad part of mumble calls for voice come from:

  * Where the server is hosted / quality of server
  * Poor client UI
The client UI issue is how easy it is to work-around bad audio from other users. It's possible to do, the UI just completely sucks.

User interface and end user fulfillment just aren't great generally for OSS. I think it would take a commons improvement project with either government grants (infrastructure) paying for results AND/OR a university spearheading the development project.



i totally disagree. the worst part about mumble is that it was a pain in the ass to set up. creating a discord server is trivial: all of my nontechnical friends have used the software just fine. mumble is terribly fiddly in comparison.
