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.

Hello,
since the only requirement you are listing is to connect to OFTC,
hey why not? Thunderbird will do that.
If you ask for preferences you most likely will end up with an
exhaustive list (you might as well ask apt-cache ;) ).

Answering to myself after giving it a short try on #debian at OFTC:
I quickly found out that Thunderbird as an IRC client does not allow to 
configure it sufficiently to the wanted/needed details. GUI and and 
Login options miss to much in comparison to Konversation or HexChat.
