It has features but I don't think it is worth it.

Inline images are annoying and I don't like that it uses non-standard protocols.

I also understand that Hipchat is not open source completely, and if so I don't like that.

Notifications are part of a client.

Permissions for large teams are nice, that is a useful feature I would like.

Of course, nothing is one size fits all. I doubt slack or hipchat could supplant IRC, and I doubt they would try. I was addressing the parent comment - I think the same goes for IRC, a new interface for IRC doesn't negate the niche filled by Slack and Hipchat.

Maybe HipChat could do with a "Display images in chats" setting then. Some of us use the inline pictures all the time.
