Any reasons for not preferring IRC instead of HipChat?

mostly because I am tired of vendor lock-ins. I use hipchat for multiple clients and its decent, but I am at the mercy of atlassian for yet another product if I use it for TC. I am open to pros/cons.

I get your point. I totally understand and partly agree: vendor lock-ins create problems, sooner or later.

I may say mainly because of a more decent support for mobile devices.

You don’t need fancy 3rd party things :stuck_out_tongue:

I have been using IRCCloud (desktop/Android/iOS) and it’s quite great.
