It’s just a shame the developers are struggling so much with it lately.

It doesn’t have a sleek interface but it primarily suites most of my needs. But Adium looks nice too, I’ll be trying it out next time around. I remember I was about to use MeeboMe on my site, until I found it a little too fancy.

It’s really everything instant messaging software should be. Super easy to use, feature rich, awesome customizable interface. I was starting to despise iChat so I’m glad I found it.

As a web worker, you should really be as easy to communicate with as possible, so with a program like Adium, you can have screen names on all of the popular IM services without having to run a bunch of different software… sweet.

GAIM seems to work a little faster than Trillian. GAIM is also usable if you’re using a non-Windows computer (I use it with my Linux desktops, for example) and it works with Google Talk. They are generally a little faster to update whenever one of the services decides to block unofficial clients.

Another good all-around client (for Linux desktops) is Kopete. Kopete seems to work around the occasional blockages even faster than GAIM does.

PSI is a good Jabber client, as is Spark. We use Jabber internally, so a Jabber client really matters.
