Really? I'm looking across a number of special-interest and social channels right now, most having nothing to do with tech, and I can count one or two people in each who use a web client, despite the web client being linked from a popular web page for most.

I think that if you're going to have people using the web client with any sort of regularity, you really want to give up on IRC and implement something more modern. A new client isn't going to make it any more usable, nor add any new features that users can depend on.
