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.
