IRC is just one another way to communicate with others. Practice has shown
that it it quite usable to come to decisions and coordinate efforts when
something has to be done quickly. It has shown that some things are just
easier than they would have been when using mail, snail mail or phones.
Like I said, it is one another way to communicate. Nobody is forced
to use it, but if you do you could benefit from it. This is - btw. -
the only way to get a large amount of developers into realtime
discussions etc. We can't meet in real life at the same time.
