X-Chat is one of the most popular IRC clients for Unix-like systems. It has a choice of a tabbed or tree interface, support for multiple servers, and a high level of configurability. Both command line and graphical versions are available, although use of the graphical version far outweighs use of the command line version.

Love it. Using the silverex.org build - great look.
Simple to use, easy to set up, and very stable
Tears mIRC up. So much more streamlined.
much better than ChatZilla
BEST IRC CLIENT EVER
Great IRC client.
I found this program while testing a linux distro. I have been using X-Xhat since 2004 and I love it!
I like it alot more then mIRC. I can change the text size. =p
Much cleaner than Mirc and you can show hostnames on the userlist. The ability to set your own background on all chat windows is pretty sexy.
I've just started using it... but already like it a whole lot more than mIRC.
I have always used the unofficial freeware versions of this client, but considering that this seems to be my most used application, according to wakoopa statistics, I am seriously thinking of purchasing the official version.
It is quite stable and very customizable. You are not stuck with silly mIRC script as a language. You can find plugins for quite a few scripting languages, and choose the one you feel most comfortable with...or install them all.
I have tried quite a few IRC clients and this one is by far my favorite.
It even runs well on an old 233mhz 9x PC with 64mb RAM (without being a resource hog).
as said earlyer a little lacking in features such as channel specific commands but all around stable client.
Very good, my favorite IRC client. Lacks some functionality which mIRC has, but for just chatting at least I prefer it.
Great IRC client for the hardcore chatters. Doesn't have all the fluff that comes with mIRC, but allows you to expand its features with the addition of Perl, Ruby, and TCL/TK scripts.
