Slack is inspired by irc and uses irc's core approach of channels, usernames, messaging, bots, and more.

And how exactly does that make it an IRC client?

It doesn't, nobody said it was. Re-read the comment.

"its no longer an IRC client" definitely implies that it was an IRC client in the past.

Didn't say it was an irc client, but that it's today's (equivalent) of an irc client.

It's kind of laid out like some irc clients, have you used an irc client before?
