Personally I am a big fan of Snak. I registered it a long time ago after having a lot of stupid little problems with Ircle. Haven't looked back since. =)

Getting a bit tired of text-based BitchX, what would you guys say is a state of the art irc client for osx ?
Well, seeing as how they are all bades on the general idea of sharing text with othher people, I guess they are all "Text based", but personally, I find X-Chat Aqua to be the best alternative.
X-Chat aqua is my client of choice too. It is the leading irc client for linux and new versions with new features are coming out frequently. And with every new aqua release the author includes the lates version of x-chat. One other thing that I love, it's highly customizable.
