For example, IRC is really inefficient - you ask a question and often you have to wait for a long time (sometimes never). (That was a question how to add tooltips to content actions in 'SkinTemplateTabs' hook). IRC is a "time eater", that's why I personally try to greatly minimize it's usage (work "duties"). Also, it's really hard to prevent ones (including myself) from going completely off-topic in IRC. Too much of non-stuctured informational flow (mediawiki is huge and one channel is not enough)..
