Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I hear good things about Trillian.

I don't use it myself, though. Don't need any other clients for work and don't run Windows at home.

Edit: Exact X-Post

I also use Trillian at work.

Gaim or Miranda. Trillian's too bloated these days for my tastes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I shelled out for Trillian a year or so ago. I do like it, but I have to admit I like Adium more, and I usually IM from my Mac these days.

Link to Gaim.

I forgot that Gaim can run on Windows. Go team GTK.

Hmm. Yeah, I'm not loving Trillium. I may have to try Gaim...

(But look! I'm online! At home! on my work laptop! So exciting)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I prefer Adium to Trillian when I'm chatting at home. And Trillian will sometimes have problems connecting to Jabber protocols. But on the whole I haven't had any problems with it.

We use Gaim at work. However, just FYI, Jabber on Gaim is on crack.

Like bad Whitney crack? Or addictive chocolate crack?

Whitney crack. It's just been veeeery erratic, illogically so. Like, every once in a while it completely forgets you have an account. Disappearing chat rooms. Buddies appear and disappear.

I will say, when we used to use AIM on Gaim, we never had this problem, so it must be Jabber's fault.
