nirc is all very well, but i think in the next version we need a nice graphical one, i am currently searching for one of a size not much greater than nirc.

Good luck finding one.

Graphical apps are easier on the eyes so it would be an improvement to most users.

On the other hand, having a text app is nice if you boot in text-only mode, which a few people do.

One of the cool things about DSL is that there are text/command line applications for a lot of uses like mc (file manager) , links (web browser), nirc/naim (IM client), nano (text editor), etc
