I've always used EFnet for IRC but discovered Freenode recently. Is this the most populated server for programmers in general?

+3  A: 

FreeNode is largely accepted as OSS support/discussion channels.

Channels such as #wikipedia, #ubuntu, #extjs, ##C, ##C++, ##OpenGL and more, are all programmer oriented.

Freenode is one of the better general purpose OSS IRC networks. For GNOME/GTK+ technologies, most people use GIMPNet (irc.gimp.net).

It's the most popular I've found. As a lamp developer I find myself in #mysql, #jquery, and #php.
