    I've tried tons of multi-platform messengers. This is by far the best.

    Pidgin makes nearly all instant messaging available in one program. It is very convenient.

    It's better than the official crap, but it is still crap. Adium is still the best.

    good, not great, but the best around. seems to have a great future. very useful specially the portable version, put it on a pen drive, plug it whatever computer you use and you have your IM there, with history, configs everything!

    Great IM Client but strange name.

    Overall:

    Whilst I used Gaim at work as an alternative to having three seperate applications for Yahoo! IM, MSN Messenger and AIM, it would never work at home.

    With the re-brand to Pidgin, the application now works both at home and at work. With the exception of Adium (Mac OSX), it's the best multi-client instant messenger I've used to date. Love it.

    I am not sure I like pidgin...

  • grawity newbie
    Overall:

    Cool, but not for Windows. At least not with my Windoz theme.

  • scrap104 overlord
    Overall:

    Sure is better than the default IM clients.

    Overall:

    Pidgin on Windows; Adium on OS X. Both are based on libpurple. Plugins for Pidgin include toaster popups, encryption, current track as status message, and many more. I hope voice and video chat eventually make into the this excellent multi-service IM client.

  • Richard Mondello enthusiast
    Overall:

    Superb app! On Linux, it's solid. On Windows, it beats anything else out there (including the shareware Trillian). And, because its codebase is open source and cross platform, libpurple is crucial in one of my favorite Mac OS X applications, Adium.

    Does it get much better than this? I think not.

  • Ruben expert
    Overall:

    Really open and usable IM client. Setting up was a breeze, connecting works fine with Yahoo, MSN and Google Talk. Much much better then Trillian for instance...
