It also has plenty of extensions out there... The one thing I personally hate... "Cheer: Loads super-fast" Yeah, very fast. So fast, that I often dont have time to close it before it auto-connects to IRC when I turn on my PC :D (and when "Its too fast!" is a complaint, you know its good) Pidgin is quite a good program for chatting.

I actually used it for a while, but in the end, my main problem with it is that it takes far too much configuration to get it working to my liking. Also, does it even support multiple accounts on the same protocol yet? If not, obviously it has some severe drawbacks. The best thing going for it is that it's a very light application that is good for people that need to get on an IM network at places that don't usually have an IM client (via flash drive, like at school).
