How nice... Somebody decides to do something productive (and free) for the tiny Amiga community and people thank the guy with negative feedback... What planet are you negative people from?
The Amiga community needs to look after its developers, regardless of whether similar applications already exist.
WookieChat may or may not be better than Amirc, but it is still in development, and already has nice features over Amirc, which I am sure will continue to grow as development continues. What more, its free! How about encouraging the developer for his good work, eh?
