Comment 5 for bug 38694

Matthew East says: "I'm afraid this isn't a bug, but rather a feature."

I'm intrigued by this. How exactly is it a feature to expect people to use an app that isn't really purpose-designed for IRC ?

There are times when a new user is told to use certain commands in their IRC client that simply don't work in Gaim.
This only makes helping them more difficult, really.
