What IRC client do you use?

Hmm, I thought mIRC was one of those programs that the masses use, and then you come here and see that there's another great, free alternative.

Sort of like people using Real Player, then they come here and discover Real Alternative.
 
xchat - open source - actively developed - better interface and scripting support than mirc - active windows port.

Screenshot below: (never fear the program is in English or the language you select)

Can script in a number of languages: (all of these downloadable at the site above)
For Perl scripting plugin: ActivePerl 5.8 (12.5 MB)
For Python scripting plugin: ActivePython 2.3 (16 MB). Be sure to use 2.3 instead of 2.4. You can also use python.org official distribution.
For Ruby scripting plugin: Ruby 1.8 (15 MB). If you use custom installation path, adjust it accordingly in plugins/rubyenv.ini.
For Tcl scripting plugin: ActiveTcl 8.4 (16.5 MB).
 
screw a GUI for chatting, BitchX is the only way to chat, not the greatest *nix to PC port, but it's far better then using MIRC or some blasted "interfaced" client.

Didn't know about my choices...which ones are recommended?

if I was going to use mIRC, I'd probably get ircN, been around for a long time, and seems to be stable. Oh and doesn't have any backdoors like some of them.
