Can you please list some features Discord has that IRC lacks?

(Since IRC is a protocol, let's use the mIRC application for comparison with Discord.)

Take a look at IRCv3 specs: https://ircv3.net/irc/

Unfortunately, many of them are still a work in progress. Still, a fully featured IRCv3 client connected to a modern server should be usable by normies.

A big one is mobile (and laptop roaming) support. IRC alternative is to either run a bouncer (excludes casual users) or to pay for something like IRCCloud.
