Because IRC clients are really, really nice, and Jabber clients are not (I don't know of any Jabber client I consider usable, the same for ICQ and the other IM services - I dislike licq, for example), the best option to get us incorrigible IRC freaks onto Jabber would be to improve bitlbee so it works with all features of Jabber. Oh, wait. I use bitlbee already. And it does have Jabber support (thought not optimal). But I never bothered to get a Jabber account. Let me think of why. *ponder* Oh, right, I never met anyone with a Jabber account that wasn't on IRC most of the time. But that's probably just because we IRC geeks form a single Jabber-hostile group.
