Description :
XChat-GNOME is a new frontend to the popular X-Chat IRC client which
is designed with the user interface foremost in mind. Historically,
the OSS desktop has been steadily improving in usability,
accessibility, and general slickness, yet the world of IRC clients
has not kept up. With IRC being one of the fundamental methods of
communication within the open source community, it is bizzare that
this area has been neglected.
GNOME\'s philosophy in terms of user interfaces has been progressing
towards presenting the user with few options and sane defaults.
While many of the normal X-Chat options will be preserved inside
GConf and the xchat config files, only the most common settings
will be included in the main user interface.
The authors decided that the GTK+ frontend provided excessive
customizability without sufficient organization, which lead to
clutter and confusion. As such, XChat-GNOME was born, and is
gaining popularity as an IRC client for people who care more about
chatting than tweaking settings. If anyone is interested in helping
out with the project, stop by #xchat-gnome on irc.freenode.net.
