Discord's not better than HIM or Mojo Jojo or the Gang Green Gang, or Fuzzy Lumpkins.
He's better than all the PPG villains combined by leaps and bounds. He isn't even a villain, and that is why he is better. Chaos doesn't really have an alignment or agenda, he just happens to be against the protagonists when he is introduced. Also, he when he is on screen he is a scream which is much more than I can say for PPG villains.
he's fun to watch I'll give you that, but certainly IS a villain.
Discord is pretty much a text book example of chaotic evil, he's not out to just have a good time and is misunderstood or shunned for it, he creates chaos for the sake of his own sadistic amusement, he's pretty much like the joker in many respects.
the PPG rogue's gallery consists mostly out of clever twists on established tropes or pop culture.
what I also find quite an awesome yet underrated character is their "dad", the Professor, he was a very sympathetic character since he touched on things like fatherhood, loneliness, the life fulfilling experience of raising kids and worrying about their safety, despite having superpowers.
If there is one thing about mlp that I miss is a recurring male character that stands on equal ground with the main cast, instead of being a...pet...?...servant?
what is spike even?
