I assessed Matrix a few years ago and came to the same conclusion. I went with IRC3 which is a new standard that overcomes most of IRC's issues. I think IRC is still quite good, and actually has working clients for everything, web etc

As someone whos familiar with irc, where do I start with irc3? Will I have to learn a new client?

Well the old clients are backward compatible, but you should check if your client can use new features. But mostly it's that you have to be on a server that supports it
