> you probably still have to do some xdcc crap to send a file

At least you don't have to re-learn how to do it when the UI changes, when the commercial sponsorship changes, when the advertising changes, or when they announce they've been hacked and your data is on the "darkweb" (probably another IRC network).

!xdcc list

I guarantee you I don't know a single xdcc command anymore without looking them up and I used them for 15 years, whereas I could probably leave discord for 5-15 years and still try to right click someone and drag a file over to their name.

A new user doesn't know to type xdcc help, etc. They have to google how to send IRC files, blahblah. And everyone will be on a different client so maybe yours has an XDCC context menu button but theirs doesn't, etc.
