Controlling things via chat was big last year among a certain group of sysadmins. I asked them what they actually used them for, and got a big shrug. If you don't spend your life in chat, you can't remember the specialized commands...
That said, sending status messages to chat channels appears both useful and popular. You don't have to remember how to interact.
