Most IRC clients? Weechat, Hexchat, Quassel, Konversation.
Torrent clients? Transmission, Deluge, Vuze.
I padded my lists a little, but I really do think "most" is an extreme and strange claim here. Weechat and Hexchat are the most-used IRC clients among people I know, just as Transmission and Deluge are the most popular bittorrent clients among people I know. irssi and rtorrent are also pretty popular, but it's no less common for things with names seemingly unrelated to their protocol to be used.
- GTP 6y agoOk, maybe this doesn't apply to most clients, but I think op still has a point. If there are at least some email clients with the word "mail" in their name and at least some torrent clients with the name torrent in their name why shouldn't riot use the word "matrix" inside it's name? It's not that they must, but like op said it would make things clearer, in my opinion something like MatrixChat would be OK.
- gorgoiler 6y agoOr call the exemplar client Matrix and refer to the others as The Matrix Protocol and The Matrix Foundation, license the trademark to third parties so they can call themselves Matrix FluffyChat, and let the 1%er curses Haskell client call itself frogwibbler safe in the knowledge that the odd name isn’t going to hold back general adoption.
