What about search + multiple chat windows on same screen?

I can search an emacs IRC buffer (it's just like searching a text file) or if I want to search everything I can just grep in my logs directory and get search results in emacs which I can then grep some more or easily copy paste to another buffer where I have a file open or a colleague who I'm chatting with.

For multiple windows, I can split my emacs in however many windows I want horizontally and vertically and switch around with whatever key bindings I want.

only problem with that is to find someone else who knows what emacs and irc are and how to use it, but anyone can use web-app or mobile-app.

word

we even have our marketing guy use lechat. Try making your marketing use emacs ;)

The finance team at appnexus use ipython internally to scrape files, create aggregates, etc.

I dunno, it's just about teaching them about it at the right level. Don't swamp them with thousands of details, and don't leave them without a lifeline to call upon.

Although this is assuming they want to be competent.
