What instant messenger do you use?

I'm pretty much convinced that iChat is the best AIM client ever made. I also use messenger:mac.

On the off chance I'm on a Windows machine, Pidgin and MSN Messenger.

Also always some variation of IRC.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

iChat + Chax really isn't that bad. I kind of like my desktop being seamlessly integrated graphically, and iChat is since its made and packaged with the OS. I also don't particularly like multiple protocol clients either for some reason, usually because they don't support things that the actual client does (IE: writing in MSN (although Macs don't support it anyway), video chat, etc) The only two things Adium really offers, multiprotocol support & customizability, are bothfairly useless to me.

messenger:mac was really a just because. Colloquy is a given for IRC. And I forgot that I use Skype on occasion.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
