> What's wrong with the UX of IRC?

One sentence later:

> ...we scrapped it because only our software developer used it and other people in the company preferred something else (they used a mix of email, Google chat/hangouts, and text).

Clearly something was wrong with the UX if only one person was willing to use it?

This place is a parody of itself sometimes.

I think they may have left off the "s" from developers, based on context it seems like there must have been multiple people who liked it enough to build plugins. Sounds more like a "developers vs. management" kind of thing rather than "our one IT guy tried to sell the whole company on IRC".

Typo aside, that does not materially affect the point. “Management” in this case appears to be every other team at the company...

The point you were making is that a single rabid IRC fan was trying to steer the rest of the company, so actually I'd say the typo certainly does affect the point.
