    I've used Adium for quite some ...vince frandina -- 08/12/07

    I've used Adium for quite some time and I love it still! Wouldn't mind the open source developers creating the audio / video features but it is one excellent IM program

    The good: -fast .. very fast! -can put all of my accounts into one -looks beautiful (as macs do!) -very customizable -responsive -the tabbed conversation -stable

    The bad: -no audio or video that's about it

The good:
  • Allows you to combine nearly all of your IM services (Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, Jabber, etc.) into one client.
  • Near-infinite tailoring of the UI to match your tastes.
  • Features a refined, tabbed interface.
The bad:
  • Doesn't support Skype IM
  • File transfers fail, on occassion.
  • Only available on Mac
  • Doesn't offer audio or video chat
The bottomline:

Adium is quite simply the best instant messaging (IM) client available. Period.
