    0.16.0 is just what I need for an IRC client.

    Don't get me wrong...I LOVE X-Chat but this 'port' is just annoying and unfinished; I'd recommend installing the 'real' X-Chat via macports.

    Missing features that the traditional Xchat has.

    Pity it hasn't been updated in ages, but it's still a great IRC client.

    Hell yeah :D. I find it sometimes crashes if I don't open it for a few days but that's no problem it's a great app. Does everything I need for an IRC client.

    It's a good IRC client for mac. Some minor little annoyances I have come across, but apart from that it's a nice client which is easy to use.

    The best IRC client I've tried on the mac. The others I've tried all start to get laggy when you get over a thousand messages in a window, or when you have logging turned on.

    Overall:

    It's the only one I use, but it does the job even though the scripts are hard to produce.

    Overall:

    X-Chat Aqua is, in my mind, the best IRC client for OS X. It is incredibly easy to use and customize. It even offers Ruby, TCL, and Python scripting.

  • gabek enthusiast
    Overall:

    The best OS X GUI IRC client if you're serious about IRC, and don't want a cheesy IM-type interface. Has the same scripting engine powered by perl as the native Unix version.
