Funny, I have the opposite - I hate technical discussions over chat, because they move way too damned fast, and I just can't keep track of them and remain focused on anything else - like, say, my job.
Perhaps the difference is that I don't typically start technical discussions - instead, I search for prior ones, which 99% of times solves my problem faster than any chat would.
