I don't think erc *needs* to be a pain to set up. It can do a million
things, but I don't think you're required to do any of them. This is the
sum total of my erc-related init code:
(defun my-freenode ()
(interactive)
(require 'erc)
(erc-tls :server "chat.freenode.net"
:port 6697
:nick "girzel"
:password "password"))
(eval-after-load "erc" '(require 'erc-dcc))
And I don't even use the dcc stuff.
