You can't see history on IRC so rather than noting the deficiency, you list it as a feature. As a modern IM user, I am part of many low volume groups and the history is essential as there will usually only be 5 or so messages in the day which I would have just missed if I had used IRC. I agree that history on a fast pace 100 member chat is not so useful but not having it isn't a benefit either.
