rcirc mode for emacs is all I use now. Makes it extremely handy to copy paste code to chat or vice versa using scpaste. Plus rcirc integrated with Bitlbee and libnotify to give me desktop notifications when someone says my name (or other configurable keywords). Does everything I need with aplomb while staying out of my way.
