It's not only that. I think Jabber is more user friendly, because you
can manage everything via GUI. For example if you want to send a user
in irc a private message you need enter command like "/nickserver
register ...." and "/nickserver identify ...", you don't have to do
this stuff in Jabber.
So I've some people here who support this, I would file a specification  ...

I hope we some further comments about this !
