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!
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.

Great IM Client but strange name.

I am not sure I like pidgin...
Cool, but not for Windows. At least not with my Windoz theme.
Sure is better than the default IM clients.

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

Pretty cool, I'm loving the new icons and somewhat-new look.
Pidgin supports almost every IM network every!! Great idea and Open Source Project!!
Recently switched from MSN Mess. to Pidgin, it's fantastic!
