I also supported the trial of Discourse.

However, now that I have tried it, it will be a no from me.  I find the 
presentation of threaded conversations in linear format to be confusing, 
figuring out what I have and have not read to be difficult, and the 
overall frustration to not be worth it.  It definitely has some nice 
features, but I won't be using them because I won't be using Discourse.
