It is on my TODO list for applications discussions. IMO, we should just drop
xchat. I always use pidgin for IRC, and it doesn't a pretty decent work.
+1 for dropping XChat.
The purpose of default applications are to provide a sane and
easy-to-use default for common users.
Learning how to use two different applications won't be easier than
learning one.
So using pidging for all protocols is supports do makes sense. Users

I would be +1 on dropping xchat if it's IRC protocol would get a decent
upgrade, it's far to unstable in it's connection. Otherwise I would still
