Hyperkitty is a bolt on HTML to mailing list archives.  It's good for what
it is, but it isn't Discourse - and usage numbers tend to bear that out.

That's an unfair characterization. HyperKitty was designed from the
ground up with that goal in mind too. The _sole_ difference is the
backend approach. Discourse uses a database system while HyperKitty
uses a mail list engine.

if you think the "sole" difference between HyperKitty and Discourse is the
backend approach
you're not looking very hard.  It's quite apparent just by looking at it.
If yperKitty's design goals
are the exact same as Discourse they hid it pretty well in their online
documentation.

The one benefit that Discourse might offer to me is that Gerald's
replies might use quoting properly :-P

(Yes, I know this is a problem with the text/plain part generated by
Gmail's web UI, which can be worked around by just adding a blank line
between the quoted text and the reply).
