Another graphical linux client, if you're so inclined, is
something called Pronto. http://www.muhri.net/pronto
I haven't tried it at all, but it looks rather interesting, if
you're into graphical clients.

In short, no. There are lots of projects in the works, but none
that are ready for prime time yet that I know of.
If you're really into using graphical clients, you might consider
using VMware. That's a virtual machine that lets you switch back
and forth between simultaneous sessions of different OSes, such
as Windows and Linux. You need some recent hardware to run it
on; its demands are significant.
The real answer to your question, I think, is to consider looking
into the non-graphical equivalents. Once you understand how the
internet protocols work, text is really the native language you
want to be dealing with.
