As always, what made it great was the comminity. Ultimately, it was just a shiny new UI for IRC, combined with easy file sharing in a pre-napster era.
There were “trackers” to find servers you could connect to. Some were general, some had themes. Very Mac-centric at first, though there were Windows clients later on.
