XChat isn't included in Ubuntu by default, and I guess that's because of the rule of one application for each task. However, I feel that even though Pidgin can be used for IRC, it does the job so poorly compared to XChat, that it isn't a real option. Most users quickly install XChat anyway. I therefore think XChat should be included by default, and not XChat-GNOME, but the standard one. IRC, after all, is a very important tool in this FOSS world of ours.
