IRC bots are a hack, and so much is provided by extensions, that there's no guarantee that your client will support basic features.
CAP Account is just that: an extension. It's not inherent to the protocol, and it shows.
And I didn't say the present bridges were perfect yet. The project is still a ways from completion.

In contrast to XMPP is IRC actually renewing itself in production. http://IRCv3.net/ http://IRCv3.net/ EDIT: I can’t answer you right now (you are submitting too fast), so here is my answer inline: > I’ll show the list of extensions both supported by every modern client, and each of the networks you mentioned: > freenode: sasl, account-notify, identify-msg, multi-prefix, extended-join > efnet: multi-prefix > quakenet: none > Hackint: invite-notify, cap-notify, chghost, echo-message, userhost-in-names, account-notify, server-time, account-tag, multi-prefix, extended-join, away-notify, tls, sasl > Snoonet: away-notify, sasl, account-notify, invite-notify, userhost-in-names, multi-prefix, extended-join > Mozilla: sasl, userhost-in-names, multi-prefix > EsperNet: away-notify, sasl, account-notify, multi-prefix, extended-join, tls > Also, support for extensions by server: http://ircv3.net/software/servers.html http://ircv3.net/software/servers.html > And by client: http://ircv3.net/software/clients.html http://ircv3.net/software/clients.html > Any more questions?
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoXMPP is radically different from IRC. And I don't know about you, but I don't see a lot those extensions in use on actually servers (freenode, efnet, quakenet, etc).
