Irssix will crash if the channels are too busy, making it almost useless. Also, menus don't allow editing of even basic options. I like irssi a lot, but this is more a regression than an improvement over the text version. It promises to be great if more work goes into it tho.

Not bulky by any means, seperate half-spherical user list may take some getting used to. Tabs look great, I like the immortal window bit :) The find text field on the channel is nifty, connecting seems flawless and stable. Now all it needs is some features :) Keep this puppy free and I may switch over from Snak if you toss enough bells and whistles on it :) Very nice.
