SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro It has all needed features
It works perfectly with Windows 10, has all the needed functions like:
1 - handle all irc:// links.
2 - start with windows.
3 - start minimized.
4 - close to tray icon when pressing X(close button).
5 - it can open all the channels in one window or open each channel in new windows (it is up to you).
6 - tons of options to pick up from.
Pro Non-disruptive installation
Configurations, scripts and snippets are saved within the installation folder, allowing you to easily move them to a different installation. It also means that nothing is changed in your system.
Does not create registry keys.
Does not create any other folder than it's own on any other location.
Even when the installer is used, you can make it portable by just moving the folder around, don't need to worry about anything else.
Pro Lightweight
The client weighs less than 1MB.
Low CPU usage. Almost no CPU usage, in fact...
Pro Portable
A portable version is also available in the download section. It can be run without installation allowing it to be run off of external devices such as USB sticks.
Pro Now playing support for most popular media players
Supports Foobar2000, Winamp, QCDPlayer, iTunes, MusikCube, MediaMonkey, XMPlay, Spotify, VLC Media Player, Media Player Classic, MusicBee, PotPlayer and SMPlayer.
Pro MSL support
The vast majority of mIRC scripts/snippets work in AdiIRC, with compatibility constantly being improved.
Pro Emoticons
Inline support for custom emotes and icons. Adding , removing or editing images replaces whole chat buffer tags in real time. AdiIRC makes your irc experience much more fun.
Pro It has a notification window built-in
(unlike hexchat which needs to manually add a script)
Pro Auto update (including betas channel)
It can be updated via updater or via command fast and easy.
Cons
Con mSL is not fully compatitable (yet)
The mSL (mIRC Scripting Language) is not fully compatitable at the most of it's engine functions (identifiers,commands,events)
Con Bugs and Crashes
Because of it's tons of features and options it has bugs, nothing important, but it may have crashes or bugs.
Con Bad proxy support
Supposedly supports proxies but it can be difficult to get it to work with some proxies. HexChat works with it, but not AdiIRC.
Con Unintuitive interface
If you come from a mIRC, Xchat or Hexchat background, the interface seems unfamiliar and complex.
