@awilfox @mdfrg I definitely vote for "not worth using." They offer precious little enhanced usability over a console app for IRC, yet consume upwards of 1.5GB of memory just to have two channels open. Insanity. But, hey, the web is the future!

(grumbles something about my lawn and kids these days.)

@vertigo @awilfox @mdfrg Slack even has a built-in IRC gateway

People who insist on using the app can do so, those of us who care about good software can use the gateway with our IRC client of choice

@troubleMoney @vertigo @awilfox does a IRC client have message archive sync with search and build in file sharing tool?

@mdfrg @vertigo @awilfox It's a chat application

Anything you definitely need to archive should be done through email, anything else will be in chat logs, and file sharing should be done via network share like a rational person

@awilfox @vertigo @mdfrg @troubleMoney (or, people who want to use something more targeted to the average user can use matrix, which can speak to irc and Slack servers)
