Which IRC client do you use?

Bassically war of the IRC clients.

There is reason: I'm trying to choose an IRC client and not sure which one to pick.

But basically just want to know what everyone thinks is the best.

IRSSI is the way to go! ;)

I use X-Chat for a gui client in Linux and Windows. For console client I use IRSSI or I used to use BitchX which is no longer being developed.

Moved to Recurring Discussions.

Irssi, of course.

Add another vote for irssi and Xchat. I run irssi most of the time, even when in a fully graphical environment. I run Xchat when I'm personally attending to my wife's computer.

I use irssi sometimes, but normally LostIRC is my favorite.

Yeah I should have put "other" as an option

I also wanted to put BitchX, Pork, Barnowl, Cgiirc, Chatzilla, LostIRC and some others but just comment if your rooting for them

fsirc. because, as the name says, it's f***ing simple.

Irssi, then Konversation comes in 2nd.

Irssi, and WeeChat.

I used Irssi for around 10 months, then I started to need support for socks5 proxies, so I switched to WeeChat, which is almost identical to Irssi in look (after some customization).

Konversation and XChat. Quassel is pretty nice too.

Sorry irssi fans, but I don't like text-based IRC clients unless I can't get X running.

Weechat

Irssi, no contest.

actually...i like pidgin

Irssi and xChat.

irssi :) SSH + screen + irssi = win tbh ;)

pidgin because I like to keep all my IM together

Irssi. Accept no substitutes.

I like ircssi :). Even though pidgin is a good x-based irc client.
