I also use Zulip at work. It's better than the other fancy chat applications I've tried, but still can't hold a candle to IRC.



What?! What does IRC do that Zulip doesn't? I consider the latter far superior.


User interface, information density. Zulip is very verbose and cluttered and after a while it becomes difficult to find information from past conversations, things scroll out of screen very quickly, etc.. And there doesn't seem to be much of a way to customize it, short of going for the source code. For IRC there's a ton of customizability around in the form of various clients, scripts, plugins, etc.
