bad experience with Thunderbird for IRC (OFTC) ?

[Marco Möller]

Hello! Do you have bad experience using Thunderbird as an IRC client for 
IRC in the OFTC network? In the past I used HexChat, now running KDE 
Plasma I am considering Konversation to be an option, but as I anyway 
use Thunderbird for email, maybe I simply use Thunderbird also for IRC?
Thanks for sharing your experience with Thunderbird for IRC! Marco.
