Textual is the best IRC client for OS X. You have to pay for the binary but the source is available [here](https://github.com/Codeux/Textual/).
For those who don't have Xcode installed like me, [here](http://paste.xinu.at/LN9rgq/)'s a compiled version(64).

It looks like this:

It's actually a great way to sell your app and getting free bug fixes.


RE: Best IRC client: Textual - yrmt - 02-09-2012

you need Xcode to do that. Not everybody needs/wants that installed. I just install gcc/llvm/clang and some other dev tools but never Xcode.

It's a lie! The best IRC client is irssi, that's it.


RE: Best IRC client: Textual - yrmt - 06-09-2012

irssi is great. but textual is the best gui irc client for mac.


RE: Best IRC client: Textual - gurhush - 06-09-2012

Weechat is obviously superior to irssi and everything else.


RE: Best IRC client: Textual - yrmt - 06-09-2012

No it's not. It has lots of cool features and is easier to configure but it's full of bug and is rather unstable.


RE: Best IRC client: Textual - Mafia - 07-09-2012

nah, irssi is quite good. Tbh alot of people run to weechat because of the huge source of scripts, and nothing else. I am not implying you guys do, just saying.

Textual is legit.


RE: Best IRC client: Textual - jkl - 18-02-2017

Emacs with ERC is the best IRC client.
