well.. in my opinion the simplicity of that plugin owns - no emoticons, no fancy colors etc. and if you like then you can change the font on your own..
Well, if i set the font it only changes the "program" not the dialogs, and custom color would be great, since i to use the light-grey for mirc, and cant use anything else cause id go nuts :p
When the truth walks away, everybody stays cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay.
working aliases (/blah) would be great. I keep typing /run http://.com and people wonder what the hell im doing. In my opinion emoticons are evil, thats why i use IRC and not AOL.
