Live Messenger alternative?

[Kintaro]

Sounds like I have a choice between Tk (slow), Java (slow), and Live Messenger (bloated). Just lovely!

Really? I found that Emesene works really great on my machine.
If you don't use a webcam, it's ten times better than aMSN.

Odd because when I launched it it crashed.....

Pick the lesser of the 3 evils, I suppose...

I don't see any of them as evil, so that would be pretty difficult.

I hate the interfaces of all three, and it's live messengers shitty interface that made me want an alternative for when I use webcams anyway. Otherwise I'll just keep using pidgin, which has a nice interface, is responsive, and not bloated. It also supports more than MSN.

It's a shame because pidgin are working on webcam support but only for jabber. Who the hell uses jabber anyway? Not including google talk.

OK. So pick the one that isn't as bad as all the others.
