My complaint with IRC (and I freely admit that it could be that I am not using the "right" client) is that there is just this sea of text on the screen. There is very little formatting to speak of, and it reminds me of everyone talking at once on a conference call.

slighty off-topic: I am proud to say that I was introduced to Wealthfront via HN, and I was so impressed by their engineering blog that I went to their website. And it sounded cool, so I joined.

And ever since then, I continue to see some awesome things from them, and so far their investment-matchmaking service has paid off, too.

Win-win if I've ever heard one.

I'm slightly biased, but this is what I aim to solve with Mibbit - make it a little more friendly and clean looking. Hopefully I'm headed in the right direction so far.

I'm a fan of irssi myself, I've found that the defaults are pretty sane and the few things I've wanted to customize could be.
