Really?

Ever seen IRCCloud or Quassel?

Simple "one-click" "just works™" IRC bouncers, perfectly integrating.

IRCCloud costs money these days, and it's no more open-source than Slack in any case.

There's a difference between an open protocol and an open client. The latter... doesn't matter quite so much. The former is pretty important.
