A Great Client

X-Chat has long been my favourite choice for a free Mac IRC client, if you need one, grab it. Its rock solid, has a number of ways for you to customize (in function and UI), and has been around long enough that the bugs have been worked out of its system.

The one thing Ive always thought has been missing in the Mac client (both this, and the previous X-Chat Aqua) has been the automatic alphabetic-reordering of channels that the Windows and Linux versions of X-Chat enjoy — e.g., if I ./join #channel, it shows up on the bottom of the channel listing for that server always, when I would prefer that any channels I join be automatically arranged in alphabetical order. A small gripe, but one that would be a nice feature, if possible.
