I, like most people on this list, have used all three servers/clients. While I grew up on vent, their business "strategy" is not to my liking so I started setting up mumble servers. With about 15 minutes of reading and configuring, I had better sounding and better performing mumble servers. I won't look back, vent is dead to me.
