I share your concerns. I too feel that some apps need more than a web
browser UI. And gitter.im does provide native clients for Mac OS X,
Android, etcetera. I've tested those and didn't find any obvious problems.
In my $day job the GitHub integration provided by gitter.im isn't
compelling which is why we still use IRC (not to mention we have our own
IRC servers which logs all the text and makes it searchable). But for the
fish-shell project something like gitter.im (or the fish-users mailing
list) is preferable to raw IRC.
