KiwiIRC is a good alternative to HexChat because it is browser-based, easy to use and ready to go. I use it often, and put it on my web sites so that other people can easily access IRC, even if they are totally new to IRC. Basically, HexChat is for advanced users, and KiwiIRC is perfect for beginners while being good enough to please advanced users. That's a rare combination.

HexChat Reviews

By fredd · Feb 2015

He usado xchat2, la compilación silverex, la compilación "oficial" ... esta es la mejor compilación para ventanas hasta ahora. Pero, todavía tiene TONELADAS de errores (el número actual de git es de alrededor de 200) y los desarrolladores apenas pueden mantenerse al día con las "actualizaciones de seguridad urgentes", y mucho menos hacer que los archivos de configuración se lean y escriban de manera consistente. Las API de scripting son buenas. Hay una gran biblioteca de guiones, también buena. Hay corrector ortográfico. Pero es tan buggy. Conexión a Internet tiene problemas? Se estrella. ¿Problemas con SSL? Se estrella. (¡Todavía no tiene un buen SSL!) ¿conectado a un portero? Se bloquea. No es perfecto. Está bien.
