Sure, if it does the job then it does the job - but if there are two bits of software that are pretty much equal then I'll choose the one more pretty!

As an example, I just switched from Colloquy to Lime chat as my IRC client. Colloquy matched my needs perfectly, but so does Lime... So I switched based on the UI.

I recently made the same move, Lime Chat supports full-screen and is much simpler than Colloquy.

Damn, I feel like a dinosaur thinking about 'is there something apart from mIRC or pIRCh?'
