View Poll Results: Messaging Application of the Year
Pidgin and X-Chat are always running on my workstation[s], yet Jitsi is what I would have picked from the list above, except that it is now in the VoIP category.
I use it along with Kamailio, as a Skype replacement (Skype is also a chat program - not necessarily VoIP - So there is a lot of cross-over between the categories).
I've been using Irssi for some time, but in the past used to herald BitchX and even ircii, from which BitchX was derived.
Nowadays, it seems that the 'next level' of console based irc clients is led by Irssi, which I run, but lately I've gotten into a slightly different, and perhaps even arguably better client, WeeChat - which is what I voted for.
WeeChat doesn't have to restart and completely extensible on the fly - something Irssi isn't.
The two behave similarly, but also differently, so migration between the two is relatively painless.
