If you count the official program, then no. That Electron based garbage is unusable. I use Slack with the IRC gateway.

which has its share of problems, just from the top of my head:

- you will miss edits

- in some cases when people sign up with their email addresses, you now have "info" and "mail" as nicknames, because they signed up with [email protected] and only the slack client shows "joe".

- everytime someone pastes a snippet, you'll have to open it in a browser anyway (ok, minor issue)
