IRC/Live-chatting does not really solve any new problem which the Email has not solved already. If you look at live-chatting in the corporate and the personal world, you'll see that most often (and when things gets tough) people tend to either pick up a phone, or they'd send long-form email.

Sure, once something requires higher bandwidth or longer-form 1:1 or 1:few communication, it makes sense to switch modes but there's a lot of value in short-form synchronous communications. I don't actually use IRC/IM comms a lot myself (other than as a sidebar for video meetings) but I have in the past and would do more in different citcumstances.
