Mirc definitely has more scripts and bots available compared to xchat. BUT since I love linux more than windows, I would rather have xchat. Besides, xchat is open source and is legally "free". Smile

X-Chat has too few scripts, in my opinion. Even though the scripting interface is easy (at least for TCL, which I used to use). I always recommend irssi over any other client for hardcore IRC-users. =)

If you like BitchX, then you'll love irssi. Give it a try.

No one use Trillian? It's like 5 chat clients rolled into 1, it also looks way better than mIRC. Free too.

i despise trillian, the only think i liked about it was the IM sounds, which i took and used on gaim. Twisted Evil

You get a lot more with Gaim. But I prefer irssi combined with a local Bitlbee.

If I despise my self enough to log into yahoo, msn, or some jabber client I "account on" to my bitlbee root as well, over irssi. Id just rather dcc with my bot to somebody Id really like to talk to..

But you know some people need to use trillian, or gaim. GAIM is cool because is supports SILC.. trillian just screams p0wn me!

They just tend to be a little lazy.. Laughing

Trillian user.. lol! - he's my friend.

X-Chat when I have a nice plush GUI, BitchX when I'm using a shell, and Gaim for Instant Messaging.
