Hi, I wrote Mibbit. For me, last time I used campfire, it was pretty minimalist. That's great if 'chat' is all you need, but it seems like there's a ton of different use cases, and an absolute TON of feature suggestions. A lot of it may also come down to taste. Some people like minimalism, some don't. >> "There are more people in the comments here saying Campfire needs to be superseded. Why?" everything needs superseding at some point, it's how things improve. Surely. Unless they are actively superseding themselves with new versions. You can't really stand still. Is campfire still being developed and improved upon? Is it really the best it can be? What features did they add in the last month? There's certainly space for a lot of webchat apps, and I'm skeptical that campfire is 'the best webchat can be' (And neither is Mibbit for that matter). I can't speak for the other webchat developers, but in my case, working on mibbit is just plain fun. It's somewhere I can think up fun new features and plug them in. Like the recent addition of flags/timezones in the user list (patent pending) so you know where/when people are. And (after seeing an example on HN ;) the addition of LaTeX rendering).
