I liked those multi-chat clients, but I noticed sometimes they didn't seem to wo
rk well all the time with all the different chat protocols. I knew a couple peo
ple who used Pidgin & similar, and sometimes it seemed their chat app would repo
rt me online when I wasn't or vice-versa. Or sometimes I'd try to send them a f
ile from my chat client and they couldn't receive it, etc..
