Gaim vs Miranda vs (?)

Hey all...

I'm bored of MSN Messenger and need something more awesome and less shit. I tried Trillian for a while, which was nice, but it seems that you have to pay to get the plugin/skinnable version, which I'd rather not do.

I hear that Miranda and Gaim are both ok, with plugin support and general handy stuff.

Anyone know the pros and cons of each, thus, which one I should go for?

I like GAIM best. It's well thought out.

I personally use GAIM and haven't had any problems with it at all.

GAIM is fuck ugly.
At least with Miranda, you can make it look pretty.

miranda doesn't even have font support. gaim isnt even native. Fuck that OSS garbage. I want my software to work, I don't want to overthrow the Bourgeois.

you like trillian? fucking steal it you wimp.

Gaim was buggy when I used it...

Go for middle_man. AIM addon/mod.

What the fuck are you talking about?  No font support?  There's a friggin whole panel in preferences devouted to changing every font.

I concur, miranda is the best im software availble for win32. Wish gaim was half as good.

uhhh? except the font that gets sent to other users?

i used gaim some time ago, now i'm happy with bitlbee (irc2icq/msn/*-gateway)

Oh fuck it all, be a real man and use naim, the console fucking *nix aim client.
