This is 100% just how you feel, and it's not based on facts. IRC clients come in many varieties and the basic functionality matches Discord in ease of use.

What would you say is the best IRC client, or if it's more complicated than just a client, IRC setup?

Depends little bit, what you want. I don't like irssi too much, but for something over gnu screen or tmux this is pretty usable for longer sessions, collecting channel conversations (so, poor man bouncer + client setup). HexChat is decent Linux or Windows client. When I used Windows, I liked mIRC, this was (and probably is) very versatile. I have seen customisations where you don't even feel that mIRC is used.
