I tried osDate. I have it installed for more than 2 years. I had it on another server and lots of vulnerability issues forced me to delete it off the server at host's request.
Not very many addons, modules or packages. Very straight forward. You can get a chat module for $5.
It's ok but nothing to write home about.
P.S.
I did not play very much with it so my evaluation is very limited.
