why is the IRC chat protocol superior, if it has not the feature of budiling a buddylist ?
It is superior for that very reason. You are not 'locked' into a one-to-one dialogue with someone who has suddenly pounced on you and demands your undivided attention - unlike IM.
The main difference is the decentral chat and friendslist.
Yes. And let's keep it that way.
IRC has any ugly way to search servers. And it is not *slimey* enough to put freinds on one list.
Search servers for wot? If you mean channels, the channel list obtained by /list is perfectly fine. I mean, you get all the channels in one location, sorted in alphabetical order complete with topic and the number of users in the channel. Can't think of a better way of doing it myself...
Better than fluffy and cute.
