Using weechat instead of irssi-text

Today I found WeeChat which seems to be a nice alternative to
Irssi.
Why using weechat and not irssi? (from the FAQ)
- many GUI (Curses, Gtk, wxWidgets, Qt)
- nicklist available in all GUI
- extensible with scripts (Perl, Python, Ruby)
- horizontal and vertical window split
- infobar highlight
- FIFO pipe for remote control
- developed from scratch (not based on any other IRC client)
- multi-platform
- 100% GPL and free
The look and feel is very similar to irssi but weechat is written from scratch and the source code
only has got half of the lines of code irssi has. Thats one of the big arguments for me!

Curious if you're still using WeeChat, or if you've gone back to Irssi. I'm torn right now. I understand that WeeChat supports vertical splits, as Irssi does not, but Irssi supports themes, whereas WeeChat does not. I can't decide which is more important.

Gerade bei Nion entdeckt: Weechat. Neben den bei Nion aufgefuehrten Vorteilen hat mich am meisten die automatische Konvertierung von UTF-8 und ISO beeindruckt (siehe Screenshot)
