this is really quite funny... i was just learning how to build an irc client in python for my raspberry pi. i feel like we should all join #irp on irp.freenode.com
Would be nice if it was more obvious that we have irc channel. I bet many people never heard of it.
And I use Xchat here on Linux, and it's okay. Sometimes I also use irssi, but it's CLI client :)
i would just like to say, i used xchat for a while and switched to hexchat, and it is a much better irc client imo. a lot more user friendly with a better interface
