I agree - I won't use Gitter (unless their IRC bridge which is "very much beta" actually works). Looking at Gitter chats for some random Python projects (at https://gitter.im/explore/tags/python ) there are a lot of them where it's very quiet. I really don't see how it would be more difficult to use the Freenode webchat compared to Gitter.
