Product Description:
Minerva is a client for Internet Relay Chat. Minerva IRC isn't the client to end all clients, it isn't a file sharing mogul. Minerva is a simple, yet powerful, client for efficient and flexible chatting on an IRC network. Some of Minerva's highlights are:
- Compact interface - Have all your channels in one window, or one window for every channel.
- Custom command aliases - Create your own command shortcuts using the built in command alias system
- Custom contextual menus - Define what you want on your userlist menu
- Active Nickname Autocomplete - Start typing a nick and minerva will offer the closest match.
- Custom definable message formats - Everyone likes their channel text formatted differently. Minerva lets you decide
- Text / HTML Channel Logging - Why should your logs be less formatted then your output?
- Individual channel settings - Every channel remembers it's own settings, so when you come back the next day the window opens right where you left off
- URL Tracker - Need a URL that someone said an hour ago? Don't scroll up, just look in the tracker.
- iChat Style Buddylist - Floating window that shows all your buddies on all connected networks.

I have used all the other IRC clients and frankly the all were very unfriendly. This is that Mac afterall and this stuff shouldn't be that difficult! I was albe to load it right up, log right into a room and immediatly start chatting and downloading file within 5 minutes of downloading Minerva. It's never crashed and I haven't had a single issue. A manual would be nice because I can't figure out how to use the XDCC browser, but it's no big deal. I hardly EVER register software, but this one got my $10! :) Thanks ChipperSoft!
My favorite IRC client.

It's been a slightly bumpy road through the betas, but features keep improving and this now seems to be a very solid product. For now, I have settled in Minerva IRC as my IRC client of choice.
I have no complaints about it. Very attractive interface. More features in some ways than Ircle. Only thing I found it doesn't have is the ability to display full IP info in the list of Users. I had to get info on each individually. There may be an option I didn't find though.
