Recommend Product: YES

I just bought a copy of this from, er...a competing Mac software tracking site and I must say that it is one of the best IRC clients that I have tried on any platform. I haven't used IRC for a couple of years and when I did try a couple clients after switching to the Mac about 5 years ago, I was unimpressed and disappointed by all of them. This is a very simple and well organized application. I'm so glad that it doesn't have a dozen windows like other clients such as Colloquy and IRCle. It has a very straightforward setup assistant that helps you get started right away and get all the basic settings right the first time. Very customizable too. I was also amazed that they offer a student discount.

I do wish some of the default settings complied a bit more to what is customary to other IRC clients. Example: a better indicator of who the ops are on a channel. You can change it in the preferences though to use the "@" such as is common in other clients. Some features could be a little more intuitive.
