adium is just a osx gui for GAIM.Digi V wrote:the good thing about adium is the developers really do jump on bugs really quick.
Adium is better than ichat,msn,yahoo,aim, all of it
and i dont see anything wrong with the gui.computo wrote:Wahh, the gui isnt pretty enough.
Sorry, but function beats the living shit out of form here.
AdamJay has it right, who fucking cares what your words look like, when you can video conference from half the world away?
Wah wah wah.
it looks the same as Safari, and Finder, and all other Mac Apps.
i'd rather have that uniformity visually than some wierd customizable winamp wannabe ugliness.

Never use the default clients, for IM networks because they are installed on
so many machines they become a security risk whenever exploits come out
as the amount of targets is attractive to hackers.
Main feature I like other then being able to connect to all my accounts
(AIM, ICQ, MSN, Y!) with 1 program is that u can have 128bit encrypted
chat.

I'm not talking about pretty, I'm talking about functional and unobtrusive. Unobtrusive is essential for something like an IM client which you'll have running all the time, I reckon.computo wrote:Wahh, the gui isnt pretty enough.
I disagree, Adam, that iChat looks likee Safari. The iChat conversation window wastes so much space cos of the 'bubbles' look where Mail, Safari etc are both incredibly lean and well thought out.
That's my contacts list in the right corner and a random opened window displaying some text from last chat with Ed (that's why it's grey). I don't think anyone could describe that as WinAmp like or ugly..
I can see why if you need video conferencing etc you can't use it, but for me who just does text chats and finds ftping files onto my server as easy as IM file transfers I think it's much better.
Suit #1: I mean, have you got any insight as to why a bright boy like this would jeopardize the lives of millions?
Suit #2: No, sir, he says he does this sort of thing for fun.

Trillian Rocks.
If only it could incorporate Skype too. Then I'd be in chat nirvana.
