What's the best IRC client and why is it HexChat?

It's like you want to get spied on

Textual

I wish it was on windows and linux because it has

IRCCloud, because it acts like a proper phone app with modern features, and I don't need to set up my own bouncer.

ChatZilla is better.

IRSSI+SSH

Irssi, of course. Everything else is full of bloat.

How can I customize the desktop notifications on a per-channel basis in hexchat if it is so good? Are there any addons/plugins for this? Why doesn't it let me copy text selections without using the shitty X based copy-paste?

irssi

But there is annoying issue with irssi. It can't join channels with a comma in them because it uses a comma as a separator for multiple channels.

So if you're trying to join a channel named #a,b and do /join #a,b irssi will join channels #a and #b.

what gee channel on freenode?

Comma in channel names? This is not part of the spec, anon:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1459#section-4.2.1

>>57928740
I know, but I stumbled upon a server with a channel name containing a comma and I couldn't join it.

It was #0,0 on ftwr.in

>>57928798
You're lying.
Btw, I meant to post this URL:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1459#section-1.3

>>57928848
You can easily check whether I'm lying or not by connecting to the server and joining the channel.

BTW, I use exclusively irssi for IRC.
