I still use IRC, and I think that it is better than the other ones. I also use NNTP (I also have my own NNTP server for discussions about my own projects, but hardly anyone uses them so far). > I wished there was a product manager (I'm looking at you Spotify, netflix etc) that said, ok these next few quarters we are going to reward ourselves for 'REMOVING Features'. What is needed is to avoid adding bad features and avoid removing good features. > We need the area of "Bring your own client" to really take off. Yes, I agree. Allow that you can bring your own client, with your own features. Make a protocol and file formats that is simple (but not too simple) and capable of better end user controlling, and then make the implementations, too. (Also, some features can be made optional if that would help, too.)
