I'm so completely thrilled to see that the authors of Snak have pledged to give all PayPal payments to kiva.org (http://kiva.org) Kiva is one of my favorite charities because they help by giving poor people access to small loans so they can help themselves. It's totally different than writing a check to a random charity to do with as they please. It's called micro-credit afaik
So, when you pay for or renew a Snak license, the money will be sent to kiva and loaned out to someone in the third world. Each lender loans out only a small amount like $25 which goes towards the full amount that the loaner has requested. The Snak authors are even publishing their page at kiva so you can check that they actually do what they have promised. Right now they've already loaned out 18 separate chunks of money. Way to go, Snak users :-) You can read more about their pledge at http://www.snak.com/KivaPledge.html
Oh, and since this is a review I better end by saying that 5.3.3 works great. I haven't updated to Leopard yet so I haven't seen the bugs that this version fixes. Snak is stable and reliable.

After 9 years of Ircle (which is nice but not very pretty) I'm glad I found Snak. No issues with this release for me.
The only thing I really would like to see is the possibility to have a DCC transfer window open "in the background", like a private message (basically, without making it the active window). Apart from this, I'm completely satisfied with the program.
By the way, the support is also very good. I remember sending info on a bug to the developer: he replied and said he'd work on it, and in the following Snak version I found the bugs had been fixed.
I did try other IRC clients, but Snak is still the best by far!
