This is one of those things that can be a religious topic for some... :P

Personally, I'm a huge fan of irssi as well.  Being able to run in screen,
stay connected while diagnosing X problems, extensibility with lots of
available scripts, and superior handling of very large numbers of
concurrently joined channels are the main selling points for me.  On the GUI
front, I've found XChat2 to be usable (not xchat-gnome), Pidgin unbearable,
and Konversation is good, but I usually stick to Gnome for GUI stuff so
haven't done much with it.
