Textual is a lightweight IRC client created specifically for OS X. It was designed with simplicity in mind. Textual has taken the best of IRC and built it into a single client. Its easy-to-use functionality combined with scripting support makes it an ideal IRC client for novice to advanced users.
What's New
Version 4.1.4:
- The ignore and unignore commands no longer accept any type of input. Instead, they open the Address Book user interface for the purposes of adding and removing ignores. This change has been made so that Textual can provide realtime validation for the ignore mask so that they can be properly formatted.
- The option to speak notifications will now wait for other applications to finish speaking before Textual speaks a notification. This logic change was made to stop Textual from interrupting other applications when reading aloud.
- Keychain items are no longer destroyed when setting a blank password from one that previously had a value. The value is simply set blank in the keychain itself. Items are still erased when a channel or query is deleted.
- An SSL certificate is now considered untrusted upon connection if the configured server address does not match the name of the assigned certificate.
- Textual now asks before installing .bundle or .scpt files.
- Empty encrypted (e.g. "+OK ") lines are now replaced with a single whitespace.
- Added a new extensions to the getscripts installer. See the URL Dumper extension.
- Fixed IRC text formatting not being stripped from spoken notifications.
- Fixed an issue that resulted in a crash during startup.
- Fixed an issue that resulted in duplicate messages being shown in new query windows.
- Fixed an issue that resulted in channels never displaying new messages when received.
- Fixed an issue that resulted in double click not working properly inside the channel view.
- Fixed the Preferences window not restoring position correctly when being opened.
- Fixed a crash that occurred under certain circumstances when performing a file transfer.
- Fixed alert sounds not honoring configured volume and output device in System Preferences.
- Fixed the Next Highlight and Previous Highlight navigation actions not working properly.
- Fixed the user list not performing actions on more than one user at a time when using the right click menu.
- Fixed the detach command not working properly when the input is supplied with contains a whitespace.
- Fixed a user that was unignored not reappearing in the user list of all channels other than the frontmost one.
- Fixed the commands shun, gline, gzline, and zline not being forwarded to the server they were performed on when no parameters were defined.

Trying a demo of Textual, I couldn't see any must-have feature in it (that isn't already in Limechat).
I also found some users in the Textual IRC room to be either sarcastic or indifferent to my question of what Textual has that Limechat doesn't. Which I thought they would be eager to answer, seeing as they are selling a product. So my first interaction with them was not impressive.

I wouldn't be surprised if Textual moves many formatting options to the GUI, and the reasonable price makes Textual's improvements worth considering, it certainly looks a little nicer. But LimeChat is doing the job so far.
