I am very new into this chat applications and read about IRC and Matrix. Matrix seems its more new and modern. So I just wonder what's the reason you are still using IRC?

Both. Some work chats also are still IRC, but unfortunately less than they used to.

I also bridge whatever is possible into IRC via bitlbee. Unfortunately not that useful anymore, but looks like there's now an active project to bridge matrix again, which probably can take over.
