I used to use BitchX, but decided to try irssi and converted to it
instantly.  Irssi has all the features of BitchX, but makes things much
more intuitive and easier.  Plus it has every other feature you can
think of.  :-)  If you want a text-mode client, irssi beats anything
else hands-down.

That said, I prefer X-chat for a graphical client.  It is much more
full-featured than chatzilla, and it has versions for Windows and
Linux.  (I don't know about a native Macintosh version, but I think the
Unix/Linux one is available in Fink for MacOS X.)  See
