I've tried it, and the last time I did it crashed repeatedly and
brought firefox down with it. Plus I had to set it up on every machine
I connected from and tell it which channels to join, whereas with
irssi I can leave it running 24/7 and so never miss any messages or
have to mess about rejoining a load of different channels/networks.

Seeing as I'm typing in commands like /join and /msg anyway, I don't
see much point in an IRC client with a GUI - where's the extra
functionality?
