it's not very comfortable to use though. Partially because the gitter features don't match how IRC is used 1:1, partially because it seems to have some bugs and sometimes does the simplest possible but uncomfortable thing (which might now get fixed!)
You're not too far wrong, though IRC could do with some updating to get rid of some of its more severe limits and issues which prevent it from as useful as it could be for less technical users.
Yes, it's IRC with a pretty interface. But that interface is comfy and useful. Juggling multiple devices is seamless. It keeps your history and you can search it.
Not rocket science, sure, but not bad either. It's a step up from IRC.
It looks cool that said as usual its "hey I dont like <insert some chat program> so im just going to code my own incompatible one".
In the end im happy with IRC. Its not the greatest but its the one that just works:
Its the one everyone who's an engineer in the business knows how to use, bots work, automation work, and irccloud works if you like webuis.
Been using IRC since 2004. I use it from time to time now. IRC is just one of those things that I feel would be better served if the IRC client itself got sleek design / UI friendly options so that the common person could utilize it more.
