ok as with everything in the irc world, it is all about the user's point of view
Incorrect. It is all about the server's point of view.
Without the servers, there would be no users.
If users don't script NICE things, the servers will stop serving.
Just because something may require changes on the IRCd level before they can be implimented, NICELY, doesn't mean that clients should go ahead and use un-nice methods in the mean time.
