This program is better than all the Windows IRC clients around at the moment, even if it is not finished. The interface is very simple to navigate and use, and speedy also. You can change all the internal parameters of the program, either using the simple config page or through the xml configuration file. It currently has support for color, command and irc themes (*** You have been kicked by NICK can become *** NICK kicked you, or whatever you like). The more people who use it while it's beta, the faster all the bugs are ironed out, and more features implemented. WTG Hydra :)

Hydra is an IRC (Internet relay chat) program like ICQ, Bersirc, Klient, Trillian, and Xircon. Why another one? The author has tried 30 IRC clients in search of a good one, but decided to write one that's better. The program's Web site explains how Hydra differs from the aforementioned clients and the features it includes, many of which are quite "techie," such as the writing the program in C++ with modern tools, using WTL/ATL, using XML for configuration files, and reliable server / network reconnects. Power users connect to many servers and channels when using IRC. Doing this can cause the system to slow down to snail speed and eat CPU time. Hydra supposedly functions better and allows you to connect to as many servers as your computer and Internet connection can handle. [Meryl]

Quotes from the #HydraIRC channel on EFNet

* Kez used mirc, pirch, orbitirc, virc, savirc, circle, xchat, epic, bitchx, toffee, turboirc, cocoa, objirc ... pretty much all you can think of .. none feel as right as hydrairc does

<Loomy> maybe not for people who need a lot of crazy specicifc mirc scripts, but for casual people like me who want a good client that doesnt SUCK, hydrairc will (and is, from the look of it) do the job

<Fiendish1> Thanks for a great program
<Fiendish1> I love it (after 10 minutes)

<Euclid-> jo nice irc client

<Aokromes> i like a lot hydrairc :)

<zann> hydrairc all the way

<Blacsheep> indeed. gonna be very good

<Diniel> I think HydraIRC is very cool,... but it's going to cost me thousands
<hdaalz> Why ?
<Diniel> I used to use IRC about 12 hours a day, but haven't been back on for about 6 years.
<Diniel> Now I've found Hydra and rekindled my addiction

<pmog> y knows I likes it! just don't use IRC normally...
<Kez> and what better way to become an irc addict than using hydrairc

<Sp1ff> hydrairc looks neat

<Schitz0> sweet

<Y573R> pretty cool this hydraIRC :)

<@spee> in the past 2 weeks i've managed to convince like 7 people to switch to hydra solely for the purpose of having a channel monitor
<@Hydra> sweeeeeeet
<@Hydra> channel monitor rocks

See, I told you it was good ;)
