Two things:

1. Freenode is one of the more popular networks, beaten out by EFnet and DALnet. I'd be suprised if quakenet were more popular
2. If you have a good client, you can be on multiple networks at once. I do not know of any clients that do not support this. Get a better one if yours does not, there are plenty of them.

UPDATE: mIRC definately supports multiple networks! You can't even tell the channels are on different servers for crying out loud!

If you're wondering how to do multiple networks on mIRC, the way I do it is by going to File --> Recent Servers --> New Server Window. This will give me a second server window, which I can connect to a separate network than my first server window.
