Inline animated gif support.

Mobile clients, persistent chat history when switching clients/devices, search, @mentions notify you when you're away from your desk, and easy integrations with lots of services.

P.S. I mainly use IRC everyday :)

"persistent" up to 10,000 messages per team.

Forever if you pay for it.

i.e. they have a revenue stream.
