Comment 9 for bug 433714

@Omer Akram
Thanks, I see that comment. It makes it frustrating that Ubuntu changed from pidgin to empathy. Ubuntu replaces pidgin, which does great with IRC, with empathy (I'm not sure why, but maybe there is a reason). Then the developer of empathy basically says empathy does such a terrible job of supporting IRC that its worth frustrating a person setting up an IRC account so that they won't use it with IRC. As I see it, Ubuntu went from supporting IRC with pidgin to not supporting it (or supporting it badly). (And all the Ubuntu support related chat channels are on what protocol?) Doesn't that fit the category of regression?
