What's your favorite IRC client and why?
« on: July 30, 2008, 02:39:03 pm »
I'm thinking of switching from xChat to irssi. Probably because of it supports extreme customization and runs from the command line. The latter is very important since I refuse to install an IRC client on the machine I'm on.



What do you guys use? Only mIRC?

I use mIRC because that's what people told me to use. It runs smoothly so i'm satisfied with it and have no intention to switch.

As for scripts and all that i couldnt care less.

Yeah, I use mIRC on windows, primarily due to scripts.
On linux I use KSIrc, it works well and lets me do what i need.

mIRC, for the scripting mostly, but also because I've grown quite used to it over the years and don't have much ambition to switch to anything else.

xChat, it's a quick and small IRC client that I'm fine with.

mIRC, just because I don't use firefox, I don't like xchat, and I don't want anything weird.

I only use mIRC because I had no idea other programs existed.

mIRC, but I rarely use it. As in, once every few years. Thankfully I'm not one of those sad arses who go on IRC every day and idle on it all night...

I use telnet.

Yeah, I parse all the packets myself.

It's good cause I don't have to install anything.

If you've switched from Xchat to irssi then I'll do it too. I like Xchat [the pre-$$ version] but lately after fiddling with it a bit it broke up with the GTK platform or something and so its skin looks rather pukey.
