It's funny that you view IRC as the superior user experience because I've always just tolerated it as I don't like it much at all. I prefer Matrix over IRC from a UX view. I never really used XMPP so I don't know where that fits. Signal beats them both and is the only one I've convinced others to use on an individual basis. I've never tried an open group on signal though. People seem to prefer both Telegram and WhatsApp to all of the above. UI preference seems to be favoring WhatsApp in the general population.
