HexChat is an IRC chat program. It allows you to join multiple IRC channels (chat rooms) at the same time, talk publicly, private one-on-one conversations etc.
HexChat is based on XChat, but unlike XChat it's completely free for both Windows and Unix-like systems. Since XChat is open source, it's perfectly legal.

And the reason for installing this instead of other already existing chat-clients is what?

What other clients? Xchat is old and unmaintained, the rest are console or QT-based, and lacking features.
