The problem with m-i is that it doesn't help to track the status. Also adds a 1-click step. Additionally it renders useless the context menu on the system tray. I had never used it before starting to use kubuntu. I see the value that it's grouping applications and the notificatons, but I don't love it. Adding such a usability abstraction for just two programs (irc and IM) is not worth the trouble, IMHO.
