After having used Slack and Discord for a while, I can tell you that having the recent chat log available with a quick scroll up is very handy. Conversations can continue over a longer period of time.
With IRC, you have to open your client, fire off your question a few times and hope that someone will know the answer eventually. I can't have IRC open at work all day.
