Seems to be an extended advert for IRSSI. However it still wasn't clear to me what this client does which my preferred client (XChat) doesn't.

Using Irssi to communicate within free software projects Posted Jun 30, 2007 5:14 UTC (Sat) by jordanb (guest, #45668) [Link] Lots of IRC clients run well in screen, and *most* window different channels. I've never seen that doesn't besides the original irc and ircii.
I guess this thing is scriptable in Perl.. and that's useful for Joey, not for me. If I had a need for a scriptable IRC client I'd probably use erc in emacs. If I have to use a crusty old language that I don't know at least it's going to be an interesting one. :)
By the way, I use "lostirc', still a gtk client but with a teeny tiny footprint compared to xchat.
