Details:

Advantages:

0) addressing channels by numbers which never change
1) restoring layout as best as it's possible
2) arranging windows by topic (i.e. 1-20 are tech channels, 31-50 are chat
channels) with ability to add new buffers to “topics” without disrupting
anything
3) easily accessible “temporary” windows (pms/scripts/etc) in a “gap”
somewhere under buffer #11.

Vim's buffers are like this. Irssi's buffers can be made like this (see
http://pthree.org/2008/03/04/static-windows-in-irssi/).
