Nooo, IRC isn't dead.
I like IRC, too, but I have to admit some of its mechanisms are annoying and not very good. (Nickserv for identity management, for example.)
I don't think IRC is as good as Matrix for decentralisation, either. If an IRC host network goes down or is taken over, it's very disruptive to the communities using it, as we saw with the freenode fiasco.
