Two reasons: 1. Show HN is generally about feedback. The comment doesn't provide useful feedback about the service. 2. IRCCloud is a client and proxy. This service allows you to use your own IRC client which is preferable for a whole host of reasons (config, WM level keybindings, etc). Aside from the down vote, In my experience IRCCloud has serious reliability issues. I've recommended it to around 10 people all of which have abandoned the service because it was down so frequently. [EDIT] IRCCloud may since have corrected those problems it was > 5 months ago.
