No doubt Gaim is a terrific messenger, i have used it too, but then it does not provide u with the additional features that each messenger has... its more of a Basic Messenger, like u dont have Voice chat, or winks (msn), or the customized animated smileys for that matter, not even the Buzz feature, so it wud depend on one's choice of having these additional features or be content with basic messenger

yep but its multi platform friendly, has multi IM's rolled into one, infact you can sign on multi users. Plus it has Jabber too. Its open source for starters, its not resource hungry nor as jazzy as all the IM's.No ads.... It has custom smiley packages. The list goes on.... surely thats a small price for lack of winks and nudges !!!
