Preferred IM

Which instant messaging program do you prefer? If you pick other, state what you think is better, also be sure to explain your answer (well, if you want).

I use AIM, MSN, and Yahoo. I chose other cause its not multiple choice. I liek each one equally. I have different cotnacts on each one and certain features are only avaialble to one.

Has so much spyware. Gotta be careful when you install it. I hate fixing people's computers that have it on their computer. It doesn't go away.

I tend to use Trillian in windows and on the rare occasion I have *nix installed I run gaim.

I use both AIM (5.9) and MSN (7 + mess.be patch + tab removal).

I prefer MSN though.. :)

Got that too. :)

@Punktek, there's an option, IMO if they can't read well enough to notice, they will have to clean it up.

I use Trillian instead of running AIM/MSN/Yahoo all at once - The new version is quite nice :)

why-not

I like (Other), Jabber works on all networks, has no nasty tracking, works great with vBulletin where people don't need to have a IM client to chat with other's on different networks! Plus I can send mail, look at mail, send files while browsing the forum and chating at the same time!

MSN on windows and Kopete on linux.... If both were on the same OS, I'd prefer Kopete over msn.

Same here. It seems I don't need anything but IRC and AIM though. Barely anyone contacts me on MSN, no one on Yahoo, and my ICQ account is just there to say I have one.

I stopped using MSN years ago when it would go down daily for hours on end. It was a nice simple client though, unlike AIM which is a bloated POS. I compromise by using Trillian given I use both AIM and Yahoo and can use MSN in the future if it doesn't suck now.

It may be more stable, but it's starting to get a little bloated with the useless gimics..

Most of them can be disabled using available patches though.

Trillion is the program I prefer

Allows access to all the given IM systems ivia the one interface.

I use AIM with Aimutation. I also use Windows Messenger when I am at work via its SIP protocol. I am not sure if Trillian supports SIP protocol but maybe ill check into it.
