>>Emojis Unless you have a mobile keyboard you'll have to search for emojis yourself and paste them. Emoji's will always be an after thought unlike in Matrix[1] and riot[2]. >>Search You're right, it has nothing to do with the protocol. It was never about if it was possible or not. I'm talking about if it is available right now. Try riot.im and then please show a mainstream IRC client with has the same search features. >>Session persistence >No, nobody wants this. Really? Are you sure? > The former is solved by the same server-side logging mentioned above and the latter is really the same idea. The thing is, most IRC servers don't want to buffer messages indefinitely for everyone that makes an account then never logs in again. Again, this isn't about if it is possible. It is about if it is available right now. You seem to be a big fan of

writing code by yourself for features. Please link me to the cool IRC client you use which has all these features. >>> Web Client IRC was never intended to be run in the web browser. But matrix was built with that in mind. This is what my ' And IRC feels so hacked on when fit it with the modern features one wants today' comment was all about. >IRC has lots of features that are much, much more complicated than what you mention above, like DCC file transfer. Honestly, I might sound ignorant, but I've never ever heard of DCC file transfer. And matrix has implemented E2E encryption in some of their clients(all the major ones), and implementing them in the rest is a priority. I don't ever thing IRC will have this. I'd be glad if I was wrong. Also, why the boast about 'much, much more complicated'? What features require so much complexity, and if they did require high level of complexity, how useful are they? Also IRC doesn't think a lot about the UX/UI part which is what I often am frustrated about. One thing I find interesting about your reply is that you seem to assume the user is an experienced programmer. You make suggestions about extending an IRC server feature like it's changing a setting. But most people who are in OSS wouldn't bother with that. And what about non-technical users? Shouldn't this be easy to use for them to? Or do you want to ignore them so that they continue using a closed messenger and wonder why they're dominating the mindshare today? Have you wondered why a lot of OSS projects moved to slack? I'm surprised no one in this thread is trying to find out why IRC doesn't seem to be the choice of OSS projects. Rather it seems to be about bashing matrix and one-upping IRC over matrix. Which solves nothing.
