Yes that was precisely the reason for it. GuildChat was a request from someone that wanted to be able to see his guild chatting regardless of what other chat windows he had open. The someone asked about whispers so the Whispers plugin was born and then someone asked about customising them to add other channels ... so Chat plugin was born. Whilst you can only have one of the plugins visible at a time you can have one of them visible on the right and the normal chat window on the left
