As for me, I'm opposed to using freenode mostly because "it sucks".
True, it has a much larger "fan base" than does irc.gnome.org, but
this means that they have a LOT more problems. You can see this if
you're a new user and try to get help on #fedora there. You can't
even join the channel without registering, which I think is entirely
too high of a barrier to entry. Also, the community has grown up
around irc.gnome.org, and is well established there. It would take
considerable effort to move to another irc network. Later,
Greg
