It seems crazy this day and age to use mIRC. HexChat is open-source
and works just fine. WeeChat is also a fully functional command line
IRC client if you're into that.

Been using mIRC since ‘96 and I still love it. While I realize there
are better scripting handling IRC clients around I still think mIRC is
the best, subjectively of course. I don’t use IRC too much anymore
anyway, I login most of the times via IRCCloud but I still like to
support mIRC where and when I can :)

I'd be more open to the idea if mIRC was ever open-sourced. Compile it
yourself or pay money to get the .exe, much like [Ardour
does](http://community.ardour.org/download_form).

I can't use it anyway though, since all my IRC activity is Linux-
centric, but then again so is Freenode.
