No history by default, in fact there's only text by default.

I like IRC, but newer generations are used to having "full-featured" chats without setup (beauty is in the eye of the beholder).

I also like being able to do some simple markdown in my messages.

I like IRC, recently started using irccloud. That makes sharing files easier, also keeps a history of the irc channels you are in, and makes it look more pretty.

It's a combination of both worlds I suppose. So far I am enjoying it.
