Re: IRC issue?
The reason that IRC is that popular is because it's an established chat network which offers a multitude of customizable clients to cater to anyones's individual preferences.
In my case, having a separate window for it that I can minimize to the tray, instead of having to find one specific browser window among my ~120 tabs that I use to have open at the same time, plus the ability to hang around at multiple servers and channels that I'm interested in at the same time, and its logging functionality are definitely a reason to prefer IRC. The Shrapnel chat just doesn't offer the same range of options that IRC has to offer. If chat guidelines are a concern for you, then you might see that specific purpose in it, too, whatever floats your boat.
Which reminds me, I have something to post about...
