New features are good... if they're useful.
I did say useful features are good.
As for new features for scripters, yes, if you are scripting, new features make scripting more interesting as there are new things to do. If you're not a scripter, new scripting features mean little to you.
Anyhow, mIRC isn't a full programming language and I doubt it ever will be. (Yes, I know you know that). As such, there needs to be some point where new scripting abilities would need to stop or else it will become a full programming language. As it is, people already make many scripts that have absolutely nothing to do with IRC. I'm not saying it's wrong (I do so myself)... just that doing so bring mIRC scripting away from just scripting and into programming.
Basically, I wasn't saying that new features are bad. I was saying that mIRC is good enough as it is that there isn't a need to leave mIRC just because of slow updates. Patience in waiting on updates is good and is what I was getting at.
