The 2nd most popular messenger on Linux
XChat 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.… More Edit

A really awesome open-source GUI-based IRC client for Linux & Windows. I especially love it's support for plugins made in Perl, Python, and tcl.
Easy to use, allows me to write scripts in Perl, Python, etc. and with a plugin, Ruby. I personally use the Silverex Windows build.
Although I prefer CLI-based IRC clients like IRSSI, Xchat is as good as it gets when it comes to GUI clients
Light on resources and easy to use, nothing to complain about.
Good IRC client, I use the free Windows port.
Pretty good UI. It's better on Linux than on Windows.
XChat has an intuitive interface, a very good compatibility with IRC protocol, and a lot of personalizing options. It has alias, custom commands, custom buttons, cutom menus, custom.......
It allows compiled and interpreted plugins in C, Python, Tk, Perl, C++, ASM, Lisp, and more, And it's free!
By far my favourite IRC client!
yes
It's stable, nice and light
Since I can't have mIRC natively in linux, this is the next best thing. even if mIRC were ported to linux, I think I'm just loyal to xchat's stability and features now.
As a good alternative to Mirc, Xchat is user friendly, it used to be free, but i guess the makers decided to go with the buy me option now, but hey thats business,
it allows you to do the usual IRC things, i like xchat because its customisable, i have it set with a black backround and coloured fonts names list on the left, channel list on right.. Really handy for keeping in touch with gaming clans
Awesome IRC chat client.

Great program, fast, allows autofixing, easy to use. Yes. I like it. How come the price/value rating is only 4/5? It's free goddamnit!
