Anything that isn't mIRC

Can back-up what's been suggested already though..

HydraIRC (www) is a very nice client, written natively for Win32 aswell. It's quite un-finished at the moment though, but of course it can only get better.

X-Chat www) is a more established client. There aren't as many features as some other clients, but basically, I refuse to use anything else because I like it that much

mIRC alone isn't bad if your a windows user ... its the "scripts" that give mIRC a very very bad name

The fact it's $20.00 for something many other clients manage to do for free, and in most cases, do better, has always put me off.

I've always liked mIRC. There are decent scripts for it, and it isn't very hard to customize for yourself. I also use Xchat on Debian ... haven't gotten used to it, but it's working great. Plugins aren't very plentiful though.

Oh yeah, hydrairc looks sweet. I might give it out a try. If it wasn't for my huge mIRC log files that have been around for years, I'd might be convince to leave mIRC altogether.
