I tested circe, from basic observations it works good so far.

One of the Emacs built-in IRC clients (comes with at least two) - ERC - needs a small workaround mentioned in #41, but otherwise works, afaict after a week or so of using it with group chats.

irssi doesn't seem to work yet, but only because I think I need to add more detail to authenticate properly.

/network add Matrix -sasl_username [email protected] -sasl_password abcdef -nick foo -user [email protected]
/server add -network Matrix localhost 2051
/connect localhost 2051
21:08 [Matrix] -!- Irssi: Looking up localhost

@zanchey try with -sasl_username foo:matrix.org

[zanchey]

Yeah, I forgot that irssi doesn't support options after parameters...

This works fine:

/NETWORK ADD -sasl_username foo:matrix.org -sasl_password blah -sasl_mechanism plain Matrix
/SERVER ADD -network Matrix localhost 2051
/CONNECT localhost 2051
