GAIM 1.5 released and 2.0 out the door soon. It looks shiny for GAIM. I never touch anything else.

Gaim. But Kopete came close. If it just let you browse profiles without going through 2 different menus and had an obvious way of setting your AIM profile I might have stuck with it. Its got a slick interface.

I use Gaim and Irssi. Occasionally I only use Gajim for Jabber - Gajim is really nice if you already have the libs - but some people really like closed source appliances, and then I need something to access MSN. However weak-willed it is.
