It's a pain. How does a web-based client with archiving work with a private IRC server behind openvpn? What if the archiver fails and you miss important messages? How do you know the archiver hasn't failed? Does it let you post images in the chat, where everyone (no matter their client) can see them? Does it integrate with other services that people use, like trello and jira? (Can edit cards / bugs right in the chat) I just want to work. I don't want to spend (waste, imo) time on rolling my own chat technology when I can connect to a website and get on with my day. Just some random thoughts I had. I probably said the same stuff last time this came up.
