X-Chat Aqua is a renowned IRC chat client (not for AIM or MSN or anything like that) that’s used by tons of people. If you don’t already know what IRC is, this app is of no use to you. Usually X-Chat Aqua users look down upon uses of the also-popular Colloquy, and vice versa. While Colloquy definitely has a better interface, X-Chat Aqua is loaded with advanced features that appeal to power users. It also supports some great plugins. If you’re an IRC nerd (as I know some of you are), and haven’t tried X-Chat Aqua, it’s a must-try. Let me know what you think in the comments. I might add that the project leader is looking for someone else to take over, so there may not be any updates for a while.
Rating: 4/5. Packed with features, but it has a strange, separated interface.
