I've been using IRC since 2000. The reason I'm still using it is because it really hasn't changed very much. Its Internet Chat Relay keyword is "Chat" Its not Internet Voice Relay or Internet Video Relay. To me IRC is professional unlike all the instant messaging software you find today. If you don't like the way mIRC or IRC is then don't use it. Use the other instant messaging clients that already have all those features your looking for... stop trying to turn IRC into AOL...
