Gaim. It's less buggy when 2.0 version came out.

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 like, and use, GAIM (on linux, adium on the mac) but I think the app that i know which got the biggest boost is the skype!

Kopete. Nice features and good KDE integration make it for me.

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.

Kopete is improving from 3.5 to the future I hope.
