I have to admit I haven't done much testing with discourse but so far I like what I see.
The one thing I can say in favor of the mailing list is that I see the numbers go up in my inbox and that reminds me to go and check and stay updated. I can achieve the same by using discourse in mailing list mode but I like the UI so much that I probably won't do that. This can also be seen in the UI notifications, it's just getting used to looking in a different place. I feel both taging and groups help deal with some of the issues I have with searching the mailing list. If I'm writing the newsletter or just want to be updated with latest versions I search our announcement list for core releases and then the user list for plugins. The graphic +1/-1 makes it easier then reading through all the responses, especially when some of them have quoted parts of the original email making it harder to find and count to find out what the majority of people want. So from me it's a +1.
