How about security?  Anyone could IM your server, type HELP and be turning
off your security systems.  Also, you need to install IM on every machine
in
the world you use for control.  Most PCs on the Internet have a browser, so
the web interface sounds a better solution.  It would be one hell of a lot
quicker though.
