Trillian Vs. Pidgin

Trillian 1.3.9 runs unstable on my box.

Pidgin seems to be a great alternative, it's the successor to GAIM which is a pretty popular client mainly used on linux boxes. It's also lightweight and uses minimal system resources.

Mmm.. discuss your personal opinions please.

 

I feel like a loser saying this but I like just using the default messengers that each service provides. I use AIM for personal and MSN for forums etc.

I've used trillian and it runs unstable for me too.

A friend recommended Pidgin but it didn't even install when I tried. I guess I'll try again since it's at a later release.

 

I just use MSN so no need for Trillian or Pidgin and don't know anything about it either :S

 

PIdgin. The user interface is easy on the eyes, and has many great plug-ins. Although it doesn't support themes, would you actually need that?

Try out pidgin for yourself.

 

I'm a pidgin guy myself. For some of the reasons states above.

Here's some screenshots I just took.

 

I use AIM its plain and simple. I Dont wana be asked 20 questions just to add someone.

 

*facepalm*

I use pidgin, because I use Linux.

 

I also use pidgin...Ubuntu 7.10 came with it. It's great and easy to use.

 

pidgin is good software

FOSS etc

I use meebo mostly

 

I have a feeling that either wtp is not an actual person, or doesn't read before posting...

I don't understand why you would use an online client when the best ones are desktop applications. Online applications are generally inferior in most regards, except portability, and even then, there are portable app versions of pidgin/gaim.

 

*Reread*

What?
