Quite frankly, the reason why IRC is so extremely popular, is because it does its job very well and has some very nice clients. I am active at #Pharo because I use several IRC channels, #Blender , #C++ , #Opengl , #MACOS , #unrealengine , #emacs , #blendercoders and #blenderpython. So the incredible power of IRC is not its features, but its community.
You don't have to give up your familiar tools. I set up the IRC gateway, so you can access the slack channel without leaving your IRC client. I tried it today and it worked right away. Regards. Esteban A. Maringolo
