Gaim or Miranda. Trillian's too bloated these days for my tastes.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

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.

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.

Well, Jabber in the sense that they're protocols on service-specific servers, yeah. Livejournal's Jabber server drops more than Gmail's for example, at least for me. But that's weird... one more reason to stick to what I know, I suppose.

I couldn't use LJTalk (which is Jabber-based) on Gaim, and ended up using Miranda instead. Which I don't like all that much, actually.
