"only if you are a basic user"
Pros: Combines multiple IM applications

Cons: Some things that normally work on the original messengers don't work but that's OK (File sending work, and this is enough for me)
Summary: I thank the people that made such a great program, it just keeps things simple. Why to use GTalk, Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live all open to slow down your PC (or Mac) when you can use Pidgin? read more
