Version: Gaim 1.3
"Not perfect, but pretty good!"
Pros: The best cross-protocol IM client I have ever used. Fast and stable, and cross-platform compatibility (Windows and Linux) is always a bonus in my book. Trilian and Kopete just cannot compete.
Cons: The Preferences menu is downright terrible. Navigation is so-so, but finding and remembering preferences is not intuitive at all. A Mozila-style Preferences menu would go a long way.
Away messages are also confusing, even for an advanced user such as myself. It took me a while to figure out how to set the default message.
