Currently I use iRC as IRC client because it's a cool "all-in-one-window" client. But are there any other good clients like iRC? Ircle sux because you have so many windows, I don't like Snak etc. and awkIRC has also to many windows open.

well, if you insist on a GUI, then there's X-Chat Aqua

But, I personally prefer irssi, a CLI client.

I use Ircle, if you stack all the windows on top of each other, and use the channel bar it saves loads of room. Its apple scriptable too

I agree, Colloquy is definitely an app to watch. It's still a bit simplistic (no font options, etc.) but the interface really is very, very nice... of course, if you dislike multiple windows you will be disappointed...

I hate windows all over the place when on IRC. Snak is still the best IRC app out there IMO.

AthenaIRC is my favorite. The only drawback is that it drains a bit to much on the cpu IMHO.

Sniffer gone old-school sig
