Irssi, i never tried Weechat but the site threw me off by alot.
It looks like its from 199x.
I can't either see what it does better than irssi than color nicks?
Does it even support fish?
Offline
fish is being worked on apparently, so I use irssi for now ...
I wouldn't mind changing when that get's implemented though.

irssi here

Well, i've switched to weechat since the last time i posted here.
My irssi configs and theme stopped working a few months back so i gave weechat a shot. Defaults are much better and the config is much cleaner... basically KISS which appeals to me. I fixed time stamp, removed nick list and info bar, adjusted a few other things and within 10min i had it looking and working the same way i had irssi. Also it has spellchecking which is always nice to have. The only thing i miss from irssi is that highlights woked on whole line of text, but i was told weechat will have that soon too.

I use irssi. I never tried weechat but I just need a simple client with the ability to chat and some room for hooks/plugins/scripts (eg hilighting, notifications), so I stay with irssi . Typing '/names' does the job for me for those very, very seldom cases where I would want to have a list of joined people. Tab completion ftw.

I don't have any reason to try weechat, Irssi does everything I want (incl. BitlBee) and it's simple enough. And it's installed on my friend's server that I've got SSH access to.

Hardcore weechat user, scripter, also testing 0.2.7-git. 0.2.7 is a very different beast to its ancestor, infinitely more customisable than irssi, faster, lighter, and have yet to find anything it cant do over irssi.
Thats a fairly recent screenie of mine. My layout hasnt changed since. The nicklist can now go anywhere in each buffer, or can be switched off altogether.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

Irssi, but I've been checking out weechat... Perhaps with some good configs / designs (and a better implementation of aliasing things easy [??]) I might switch.
I hate to do /window up/down and stuff like that. And it would seem there's no easy way to link like alt+up/down to those commands...?

Does weechat still cause 200+ wakeups per second in powertop?
That was my reason for going back to irssi. I liked it otherwise.

Hi!
Weechat looks like! Can you put your config file?

Weechat here, coming from Xchat it is pretty good and easy to configure

I've been using irssi for a while, but after installing weechat and trying it out for a while, i've stuck with weechat for now. I really like the default setup, and how it's so easy to configure.
Offline
I haven't used weechat in a while, but I used it before irssi and remember that the defaults were better, but for some reason I thought irssi had a better plugin system.

WeeChat. I'm writing a script in lua, but I could have also chosen perl / python / ruby / tcl. With irssi, perl is the only option.
WeeChat's default theme is really colorful! <3
I kept getting error messages about the tcl plugin (probably because I don't have tcl installed), so I did `sudo rm /usr/lib/weechat/plugins/tcl.*`. That was kinda lame.

That's because repo WeeChat is built with tcl support but the package doesn't have tcl as a dep because it still runs even if tcl isn't installed. I run WeeChat from git anyway, mine has no tcl plugin. Which plugins to build are autodetected at compile time.

Same than lot of people I think, irssi because I never tried weechat.

I used weechat with bitlbee, but my contacts complained about the missing typing notification, so I switched to irssi, because there's a nice script for this. And weechat produces about 100 wakeups per second which I don't like. These two things made me switch to irssi.
