for debian 13.1 xfce

I liked hexchat due to its ample customization possibilities.

What do you use that’s maintained and why?

    Thanks. Did it need many updates?

    No.

    What stops anyone else from taking care of it?

    Please do. (Yes, I know: “Not me!”. That’s what everyone said.)

    It’s a variant of xchat iirc?

    Yes.

      Well ok, what’s wrong with xchat? I’m using it happily, and if it stopped being maintained I’d probably keep using it. What happens if you just keep using hexchat?

      Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HexChat

      Description sounds like xchat, and xchat isn’t even mentioned in the comparison table. xchat on wikipedia redirects to hexchat.

      Added: looks like hexchat originally intended to improve xchat’s functionality under Windows. Yeah as a non-Windows user I couldn’t see spending time on that myself. Windows from what I can tell is pretty dead in its own right. I guess it still has users though.
