Features

Each channel is inside a tab which can be easily selected between while chatting. Most networks' servers are supported for connection; multiple networks can be connected to simultaneously.[3] Users can add their own scripts and command shortcuts, and the software detects net splits.[2]

Reception

TUCOWS circa 2004 showed LeafChat with a popularity of about 1/4, but a rating of four (of five) stars.[4] Beginning in 2004, IRCReviews gave the software five stars (of five), as an Editors's Choice, describing it as "powerful, good looking, and scriptable."[2][5] In a 2010 review of version 2, LeafChat was described as "very well done", with a "killer" scripting API which was "convenient and easy", though the reviewer found some user-interface defaults "annoying", and ruled out using LeafChat due to perceived variable count limitations.[1] In a 2011 summary of four popular IRC clients, Techbuzz India described LeafChat as "one of the best" open-source clients with a "clean and simple" interface, and noted its ability to connect to multiple servers simultaneously.[6] The Simple Genetic Algorithm project at SourceForge suggested LeafChat (due to its zero cost) for its online IRC live developer support, and thoroughly outlined its setup.[7]

gollark: It does seem plausible that AI art might kill off much of commissioned art/graphic design.
gollark: We can assume that the AI runs faster than humans because people will only run training for a few months at most before they get bored and stop.
gollark: Legal action was maybe also bad.
gollark: I do think the DALL-E Mini name was kind of bad.
gollark: I could automatically do business with an associate though. Probably not fast enough to trademark that much, but it should be possible to do short word sequences.
