Client wars! The essential chat!

[sincere]

I've been really frustrated with Pidgin because it crashes so often, for no damn reason. And by often I mean typically twice or more every night, just randomly, while I'm in the middle of typing and not doing anything impressive, or when I'm not even into the window, I'll just tab back and find that at some point Pidgin died and a few seconds later it crashes.

I'd love to switch to Digsby, but Digsby

first you gotta

support fucking AIM chat

I am never, ever, ever going to use Digsby until I can enter an AIM chat there. But when I can, I will throw Pidgin in the trash.

Both Pidgin and Digsby log your conversations on multiple services. I like being able to pull up an AIM log or a Google Talk log with the same search feature, and they have tabbed windows, so I can talk to someone on Gtalk and two people on AIM and it's just one window. Aside from the inconvenience of having to run multiple programs when I could run one, I'd have a more difficult time juggling logs and managing my taskbar space. (I'm very possessive of my taskbar space skfjflg.)

I used Meebo at work, since I didn't exactly want to store porn RP logs on my work computer, lol. It wasn't very polished last I tried it and I'm not sure if it does chatrooms.
