Linkinus IRC Client
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is the grand-daddy of all instant messaging protocols. My modest IRC needs have traditionally been satisfied by the nice donationware application Colloquy, but reader Jago writes in to tell us about a new OS X IRC client: Linkinus. The three-column interface appears attractive and is probably worth a look-see for the heavy IRC user.Linkinus is $19.95 and a demo is available.

For a GUI IRC client, it's smooth and uses little resources. It's very Mac-ish in its appearance and full featured. I still use console apps here and there (like a few mentioned above) when I'm in a console session, but when I'm on my MBP I'm going to use Linkinus. A few of my buddies online have tried it and agree.
To the developers, you guys have done a GREAT job and I can't wait to see future versions.
I really like Snak for my IRC needs, been using it for quite some time (since pre-OSX days), and the author has implemented lots of neat stuff. It's a real joy to use and is really "mac-like."

meh, i'll stick with xchat aqua. it's free, has tabs, and a nice clean interface. It also has plugins (both ones that come with it, and you can add custom ones). The only thing I don't like is you can't change your name without editing the master prefs.

I think it's built into OSX actually, and it's nice to be able to fire it up inside a terminal screen so you can seamlessly move around to other machines and SSH into your mac to IRC with a persistent log, if you keep your mac running 24/7 like I do.
If you didn't understand anything I said, then Colloquy is probably better. :-)
oops! Colloquy**
