We ditched jabber for IRC at another company I previously worked at, and it became a staple for communication even though our entire office was only ~800 square feet.

Interesting. My company ditched IRC for Jabber. Why did you guys make the switch in that direction?

Simplicity, really. It's easier to find stable IRC clients, and IRC servers tend to be better than Jabber servers.

The only complaint about IRC that I've heard in the past was SSL, however we added SSL to the connection without problems.
