Status: Active development.

Pros: Extremely attracttive interface, multiple native drawer setup displaing contacts, statuses and messages as well as rooms and connections,

Cons: The window, perhaps, is a little large since it insists on displaying on the word go information all in one huge window. Ideally this would kick arse if displaced on a second monitor - if you could aford such a thing!

Review: Extremely positive. I love this interface to bits - I think that it makes great use of screen space if, like me, you value knowing exactly what's going on in the world of IRC. It's new, active and dynamic, as well as cutting edge. If you're looking for an IRC client I recommend looking at this application.
