CheetaChat is not an IRC client at all. It is a chat client, and it is really good--but it isn't an irc client.
Even if it had IRC capabilities, it has none of the basic features required to be a good IRC client--let alone compete against the feature set of AmIRC.
After all of that, I would still like to have CheetaChat on my Amiga or Pegasos. Because there is more chat than IRC ;-)
