sorry but many scripts (not full) make mirc more complete
as an functional app than bare naked mirc that you get.
examples:
mp3 players
log viewers
auth scripts
XDCC scripts
protection scripts (channel and personal)
etc etc...
and you cant compare visual studio to mirc
beacuse VS is only made for programing and nothing more
mirc is CLIENT that fotunately can be altered with scripting
and if user is using a client, no matter which one (ftp, irc, IM, p2p) the important thing for CASUAL users (and yes not only geeks and so called pros go on IRC) is to have simplified
and nice GUI in which user can find its ways.
now comming back to useful scripts that DONT change GUI and ur precious fonts:
many many scripts make mirc complete features to stand out
that mirc doesnt have by default.
people who dont intend to browse thru folders searching
for something that was written yesterday or 3 days ago
can easily navigate thru well made logviewer script
people who find it annoying to write again and again always
command line to "identify" to services or bots can easily
just put info into dialog (auth script) and never worry about it anymore...
those who come for filesharing also want/need simple GUI made
script that show everything that is needed and everything to
have it THERE, the normal /dcc <command> with flags are not
handy to type everytime...
those who come on irc to meet peoples or to JUST chat
join in many channels or in less channels with many users.
what do you get there ? -> spam
what is cure ?
a user protection, yet another good NON GUI modification but
an feature for user to configure things with few clicks
