First and foremost, IRC is a protocol. Everything you name here are mostly issues that are not a protocol problem, but client and service issues which can be solved. | ||

But are they solved? In a single combined client. Otherwise it's not really an alternative. It does not matter if it's technically a protocol. Users don't care about if it's a protocol, IRC clients had over 10 years to catch up. | ||

What a uselessly pedantic response. Are they solved, in practice, in the real world? For users in general? No? Then what's the point of discussing it right now? | ||
